Better Coach - Bryant or Rockne - I pick Rockne

Rockne to me was better. Bryant was great and played in a more "modern" era. In 25 years at Alabama, he won six National Titles. Rockne also won six, even though most don't count his six since there was no AP polling at this time. Rockne however, won his six in an 11 year span.

Starkville, Miss. —- The Kentucky Wildcats had multiple opportunities to lose Saturday’s 14-13 victory over Mississippi State.

The Bulldogs (3-6, 1-4 SEC) missed an extra point that would have tied the game, a 27-yard field goal, failed to convert a fourth down and threw an interception —- in the fourth quarter.

But the Wildcats (6-3, 2-3), who are 11-5 over the past three seasons in games decided by 10 points or fewer, never lost focus and left Starkville with its sixth win of the season.

“The one thing I am proud of about this team is the effort, guts and the determination that it takes to find a way to win on the road in this league,” coach Rich Brooks said.

The win gives Brooks’ program its second consecutive bowl-eligible season.

After last year’s breakthrough 8-5 season under coach Sylvester Croom, the Bulldogs have broken down this season with an anemic offense that has trouble to going anywhere. Kentucky held a run-first Mississippi State team to 43 yards and sacked Tyson Lee four times.

UK freshman Randall Cobb, the team’s go-to receiver who replaced Mike Hartline as starter after Kentucky’s embarrassing 63-5 loss to Florida last week, completed 7 of 13 passes for 56 yards and an interception.

Hartline and Cobb alternated possessions. Hartline finished 9 for 17 with 90 yards. Kentucky generated 274 total yards.

“Getting our sixth win doesn’t mean that we are necessarily in a bowl,” Brooks said. “But getting that sixth win puts us closer to doing some better things.”

In his first start, Cobb scored on a 5-yard touchdown run on the Wildcats’ opening drive of the second half, and then hit Maurice Grinter with a 3-yard touchdown pass later in the third to rally his team from a 7-0 halftime deficit to a 14-7 lead. Cobb threw one interception.

Where is Paul "Bear" Bryant when ya need him??
