October 13th: On this date...

... in 2007, your University of Kentucky Wildcats pulled an upset of epic proportions, slaying #1 LSU in triple overtime, 43-37. Andre Woodson found Stevie Johnson all alone for the go-ahead seven yard touchdown and Braxton Kelley made the tackle of his collegiate career on LSU running back Charles Scott to end the game. The Cats had been stifled for most of the day by the top-ranked LSU defense, but scored 13 straight points late in the game to tie it at 27. One of the most forgotten people of this day was kicker Lones Seiber. As critical as Big Blue Nation has been of him, he stepped up to make some huge kicks that Saturday. Andre Woodson completed 21 of 38 for 250 yards and 4 total touchdowns (1 rushing). Not only did it tell the country Kentucky football had to be taken seriously, it more importantly gave our fans the same feeling. This date will go down in Kentucky lore as one of, if not the greatest day in our programs history. It was the first win vs. #1 team since 1964. I’ll let the highlights speak for themselves.
