September 10th: On this date...

...in 2005, Rafael Little ran for a career high 102 yards, including a key fourth quarter 99 yard kickoff return for a touchdown to help the Cats squeak by tiny Division I-AA Idaho State 41-29. Kentucky needed four second half touchdowns and two fourth quarter interceptions to guarantee victory. (I’m guessing this was around the time everyone was wanting PaPaw to hand in his walking papers). Little’s kickoff return TD was the first since Derek Abney in 2002 and the fourth longest return in program history. The Idaho State Bengals led 16-14 at halfime and 29-28 with only 5:06 left in the game. But for 2005 Kentucky? A win is a win is a win is a win. And that’s all that mattered.
