Story summary

On October, Kentucky stunned LSU (then ranked No. 10) with a 35-34 overtime victory at Kroger Field in Lexington. In the final moments of regulation, Kentucky forced overtime when Adam Zouagui kicked a tying field goal from 33 yards out with just 12 seconds left. During the extra period, both teams scored touchdowns; however, Kentucky's Kenneth Minchey ran untouched for the decisive two-point conversion after C.J. Baxter’s one-yard touchdown run. LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt threw for 275 yards and two touchdowns but also had an interception and a fumble, while Kentucky’s Kenny Minchey passed for 246 yards. This win marks Kentucky's second upset of a top-ten team under first-year coach Will Stein, significantly boosting the Wildcats' season outlook. For LSU, the loss raises questions about their performance in Lane Kiffin's inaugural year despite recent wins over Clemson and Texas A&M.
