November 3rd: On this date...


... in 2002, Derek Abney returned two punts for touchdowns as your Kentucky Wildcats rolled to a 45-24 thumping of Mississippi State in Starkville. The Bulldogs led 17-16 at halftime, then Abney took a punt 69-yards to paydirt to give UK a 23-17 lead. Artose Pinner gave the Cats a 30-17 lead on a 1-yard plunge minutes before Abney’s 52-yard touchdown return to put the game out of reach. Pinner finished with 104 yards, his sixth straight game over 100 yards. Abney finished the game with 225 total yards and cemented himself as the premier return specialist in college football. The Bulldogs ended with 230 yards rushing, led by Jerious Norwood’s 138 yards. Four interceptions by the Kentucky defense helped move our record to 6-3.
