LOOK: Kirk Herbstreit reveals top performing college football coaches from Week 2
Following a week of college football that guaranteed no wins, ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit has revealed who his top performing coaches were over the weekend. Coming in first place – Kentucky‘s Mark Stoops, followed by several other coaches that led their teams to upset wins as well.
Stoops’ Wildcats defeated Florida in Gainesville in a game that no one expected them to win, and they did so handily, dominating the second half on both sides of the field. Heading into two weeks of Group of Five matchups, the No. 9 Wildcats could move up in the AP Top 25 poll even more before they take on Ole Miss on Oct. 1.

As the team enjoys their new spot in the Top-10 of the AP Poll, dinner in Lexington called for a special meal to start the week. UK QB Will Levis shared the new menu item on his Instagram story this evening. While he is known for his interesting food choices, this might be a new one for Levis.
