Kentucky Wildcats 

How irrelevant is Stephen Johnson as the quarterback of Kentucky?  If you click his name on espn.com, it brings you to Stephen Johnson of Grambling State.  Try if for yourself here.  The Wildcats offense resembled anything but an SEC football team while failing to top 100 yards rushing or passing.  This was ugly — even after Alabama got off to a slow start.

Mark Stoops likely has one foot out of the door at this point.  No one circled this game as one his Wildcats could win, but Stoops was expected to make a bowl game this year.  Kentucky faces off with Vanderbilt at home next week in a game with a ‘loser leaves town’ kind of feel to it.
