... in 1997, my hometown friend Craig Yeast made one of the most memorable catch-and-runs in Kentucky Wildcat football history when he caught a pass and raced 26 yards for the game-winning touchdown against Alabama. This was the first victory over Alabama since 1922..........read that again........75 years between victories. It also marked the first time in history the goal posts at Commonwealth Stadium had come down. The goal posts were carried around campus that Saturday night and gave birth to a whole new generation of Kentucky football fans. In the overtime, Tremayne Martin caused a fumble and Jeremy Bowie recovered to set up the memorable Couch to Yeast game-winner. Yeast came to the sidelines and demanded Hal Mumme throw him the ball, a story that can only grow as time passes. This game was recently named as the #3 most memorable football game in program history by the Herald-Leader’s Mark Story.
