After the win over Eastern Michigan, Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops spoke about the knee injury to quarterback Terry Wilson.
Check out his comments:
Q. (No microphone – Question regarding Terry Wilson’s injury status)
MARK STOOPS: Left knee. You know, we’ll take a look at it tomorrow with an MRI.
Q. (No microphone – Question regarding what he said to the EMU coach after the game)
MARK STOOPS: Maybe we got to not let TV on the field then after the game. I just was — we were just talking about the game and having a conversation with coach, and it looks like — you know, I’m not sure. I hate to put that out there right now until we get a look at it. I think you all know that it doesn’t look good. Anybody that gets carted off on a cart like that and they put his knee in that deal doesn’t look good, right?
Just wait until I get the MRI tomorrow.
Q. (No microphone – Question regarding the play when Terry got hurt)
MARK STOOPS: You know, that’s why it’s illegal. That’s why it’s in the rule — it’s illegal. It can happen. It can happen to anybody. They run a good program and Terry is hard to get a hold of. I’m sure he just reached out and grabbed anything he could. It’s very unfortunate that it’s part our game, but that’s why it’s in there. You got a runner running full speed like that and gets jerked back and the knee can’t handle that.
It’s unfortunate, and I’m sure throughout the season there is a good chance we may get called for it one time this year, too. I hope not, but certainly don’t teach that and I know they don’t either.
