Chip Patterson, CBSSports.com:

"Fans and outsiders who doubted the direction of the football program under Mark Stoops have spent the entire season fitting their foot in their mouth, and the leaders at Kentucky deserve credit for being patient with the football program over the last seven seasons.

The win total either maintained or increased every since year, peaking here in 2018 with the 10-3 season and the first bowl win in a decade. But it's more than the wins.

Stoops was given enough time to instill an identity within the program, one that highlights physicality on both sides of the ball and rides its defense to victory.

Kentucky might be losing all-time greats in Snell and (Josh) Allen, but their example has been established thanks to a school that valued continuity and giving the program room for growth."
