SEC Media Days: Kentucky's Stoops not yet schooled on ASU

HOOVER, Alabama — First-year Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops doesn’t know much about Alabama State, and he hopes the Hornets don’t take that personally.

At Wednesday’s SEC Media Days, Stoops said he’s not familiar with Alabama State, which travels to Lexington for a Nov. 2 game. Stoops was a defensive coordinator at Florida State before taking the Kentucky job.

“It is a ways down in the schedule for me,” Stoops said when asked by the Montgomery Advertiser about playing Alabama State. “To be honest with you, I’m just trying to keep my head on my shoulders and get our team so much better and get prepared for about the first four or five opponents.
