Some highlights from the Courier Journal and SEC Country.com today:
"Southeastern Conference football programs do not lose to Conference USA teams"
"Embarrassing? Oh yeah. Inexcusable? Completely"
"SEC team making a trip to a Conference USA stadium to open a season? That shouldn't happen either"
"A loss in Hattiesburg on Saturday won't work the same way. Lessons learned twice in embarrassing losses to the same Conference USA team don't spin positive."
"I can’t see Kentucky losing at Southern Miss — no, not even after last season — or at home against Eastern Kentucky or Eastern Michigan. So that’s three sure things."
"There was a great deal of character on that field today. They are for real, no doubt about it. This was no fluke." - Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant
