Will Stein went berserk toward Oklahoma sideline after failed trick play vs. Kentucky
Kentucky upset Oklahoma (score not listed) on October 17, 2026, after a failed flea‑flicker and a fake‑field‑goal play that led to two Oklahoma interceptions, including a pick‑six by Jordan Castell. Kentucky improves to 6‑1, ranked No. 12 and tied for first in the SEC, marking its first win at Norman. Coach Will Stein erupts on the sideline during the sack, a moment captured by former ESPN analyst David Pollack. Stein’s fiery reaction underscores his authentic coaching style, which many fans praise. Kentucky’s defense, highlighted by Castell’s fourth-season interception (most in the SEC), seals the victory as they prepare for Vanderbilt at Kroger Field.
Oklahoma peed on a Kentucky photo all week, and it clearly pissed the Wildcats off
The Kentucky Wildcats stunned the Oklahoma Sooners in Norman, improving to 6-1 overall and 4-1 in the SEC with a dominant defensive showcase. Kentucky forced a season‑high seven sacks and four turnovers, and quarterback John Mateer tied his career‑best with three interceptions as the Sooners were held to just three points in the second half. The win was fueled by a viral TikTok showing OU players mock‑urinating a picture of the Wildcats, which added extra bite to Kentucky’s motivation. Kentucky now sits tied for first in the SEC and No. 12 nationally.
Mark Pope has high hopes for Mason Williams, who says he did not meet the Kentucky standard in exhibition opener

Williams, whose father Mo is an assistant coach, embraces the criticism and vows to do whatever it takes to win. Pope’s big expectations and Williams’ work‑in‑progress performance hint at an exciting, yet developmental, season for Kentucky’s newest guard.
