Thursday marks the 10 year anniversary of the UK overtime win over Alabama.

From the New York Times:

Kentucky 40, Alabama 34
It took 75 years and one overtime for Kentucky to finally beat Alabama.

Tim Couch completed a 26-yard touchdown pass to Craig Yeast in overtime as Kentucky stunned Alabama (No. 20 in the Associated Press poll), 40-34, last night in Lexington, Ky.

”This can’t be put into words,” Kentucky linebacker Bob Holmberg said. ”The state of Kentucky is on a high for the first time in 15 years. This is just unbelievable. We never quit. The coaches didn’t have to urge us on.”

On third-and-11 at the 26, Yeast caught a pass at the 10 and dashed to the end zone.

Kentucky (3-2, 1-2 Southeastern Conference) recorded just its second victory over Alabama (3-2, 1-2) in the 34-game series.

”We are extremely disappointed in the outcome and the performance,” Alabama Coach Mike DuBose said. ”We made way too many mistakes to go on the road and win a football game.”

Kentucky took a 34-31 lead when Anwar Stewart returned a blocked field goal 68 yards for a score with 6 minutes 54 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter.  (Link)

Steve Spurrier is not big fan of Friday night football. 

COLUMBIA — South Carolina’s Steve Spurrier has no issues with Thursday night college football games. Likes them, actually.

But Friday? That’s another story. “I think we ought to leave that night to the high schools,” said Spurrier, whose team hosts No. 8 Kentucky this Thursday. “We’ve got a Friday night game going now all the time, which I don’t know if that’s the best thing to do or not. That’d be like the NFL starting to play on Saturdays. We wouldn’t like that, I don’t think.”

Spurrier said, if left up to him, he’d probably decline an offer to play on a Friday. That would mean defaulting on extra money for the school. (Link)
