ATHENS - Kentucky football coach Mark Stoops made a very serious accusation directed at Kirby Smart’s UGA football program Monday night.
Stoops’ Wildcats were blown out 51-13 in a matchup of ranked and undefeated teams Saturday night. The loss to the Dawgs triggered what Jon Hale reported as “passionate response to a caller's complaint”.
"Fans have that right (to complain). I give it to them,” the Lexington Herald-Leader reported. “I just encourage them to donate more, because that’s what those dudes are doing. I can promise you Georgia, they bought some pretty good players. You’re allowed to these days. We could use some help."
UGA’s win over previously-undefeated Kentucky Wildcats in a lopsided affair Between the Hedges Saturday night. Carson Beck threw for a career-high 389 yards and four touchdowns. Beck was named SEC Player of the Week for his play. The Georgia defense shut down what had been a prolific rushing attack, and the top-ranked Bulldogs won a battle of unbeatens 51-13 - taking down No. 20 Kentucky on Saturday night in front of a rabid, sellout crowd of 92,746 at Sanford Stadium.
Georgia remained the No. 1 team in the nation after the win over the Cats.

Kirby was asked about NIL on Monday as it relates to what he tells parents.
“I honestly don't know what I would tell them,” he said. “I mean, it's all over the place. What does your son play, and what you see your son's net worth as may not be what Delta or Coke or Kodak or UPS sees your son's net worth at. So you have to be careful there what you believe and what you hear, because I don't honestly know what the impact will be, because you gotta go to those local communities and say, what are they willing to do with NIL when dollars are tight in a time in America that they may not want to spend money on a high school kid. Now, certainly that's going to happen at some positions, no different than it's going to happen in college football at some positions, but the overall impact, I think we'll have to wait and see what it is.”
