WATCH: Mark Stoops talks one final time before Eastern Kentucky game

The time for talking this week is over. On Saturday, Kentucky will host Eastern Kentucky for the third time since 2015 for some mid-day football at Kroger Field. Mark Stoops is ready to see his team play another game after a so-so performance against Ball State.

At the practice fields outside of the Joe Craft Football Training Facility, Stoops fielded questions from reporters in a press conference that lasted just over six minutes. The Wildcats are ready to play game two.

“Much like I talked about on Monday, and postgame, we needed to have a good week of practice. It’s not only about this coming Saturday but just getting better as a team. I believe our players took that to heart. Our guys coached hard. We had two good practices,” Mark Stoops told reporters. Monday was a light day but we had two good physical practice Tuesday, Wednesday, good walk-through today.

“We’ll finish it off tomorrow and we’ll be ready to go again.”
