Mark Stoops, the longest tenured college football coach in the SEC, got his biggest win with the Kentucky Wildcats. Here are only ones that come close

It was one of the bigger wins for Mark Stoops in his head coaching career, as Kentucky hadn’t defeated Ole Miss at Oxford since 1949. Going into the game, Kentucky was a 15-point underdog, raising the question if this was the best win under Stoops.

Facing the same end zone where his Kentucky football team fumbled away a chance at a marquee victory two years ago at Ole Miss, Mark Stoops chose optimism. The situation seemed perfectly set up for another in a long line of Wildcat heartbreaks.

Mark Stoops and the Kentucky Wildcats, in their first road game of the college football season, upset Ole Miss for their first SEC win of the year.
