In a dramatic overtime showdown, the University of Kentucky Wildcats edged the No. 10 Louisiana State University Tigers 35‑34 on Saturday night, thanks to a 2‑point conversion run by quarterback Kenneth Minchey.
The game, played at LSU’s Tiger Stadium, saw both teams trade blows through regulation, ending 28‑28 and forcing an extra period. Kentucky’s offense, led by Minchey’s steady play, capitalised on a defensive stop that left the Tigers with only a short field.
With the clock winding down, Minchey took the snap, fumbled the ball at the 5‑yard line, and then sprinted into the end zone for a 2‑point conversion that sealed the win for the Wildcats.
LSU, ranked 10th in the country, had been hoping to maintain its top‑ten status, but the loss will see the Tigers fall in the rankings. Kentucky’s victory marks a significant upset over a highly ranked opponent.
