.... in 2003, the University of Kentucky lost a heartbreaker to Arkansas (71-63) in 7 overtimes at Commonwealth Stadium. It was the longest game in NCAA history, matching a seven overtime game between Mississippi State and Arkansas in 2001. The game lasted 4 hours and 55 minutes. Kentucky forced overtime with a 13 yard touchdown pass from Jared Lorenzen to Chris Bernard with 1:38 left in the fourth quarter, tying the game at 24. The best chance for a Wildcat victory came in the third overtime after holding Arkansas to a field goal. The Cats had it 4th-and-goal on the 1-yard line, but were penalized for illegal substitution, forcing their hand. The 86 total points scored in overtime set a record for most points ever in an overtime (ya think?). Jared Lorenzen finished the game with 326 yards passing. Derek Abney caught 10 passes for 91 yards.
