Kentucky became the first team in FBS history to win back-to-back one-point overtime games when Kenny Minchey ran through a wide-open gap up the middle for the game-winning two-point conversion last week to beat visiting LSU, then ranked No. 10, 35-34. Adam Zouagui forced overtime with a 33-yard field goal with 12 seconds left before CJ Baxter matched LSU’s touchdown in OT with a one-yard scoring run. Baxter finished with 123 yards and two TDs on 19 carries while Minchey went 23-of-36 for 246 yards and scored a TD on the ground. Brock Coffman returned a punt 55 yards for a touchdown as well.
Tate Sandell drilled a 47-yard field goal as time expired to lift Oklahoma to a 27-24 win over then-No. 1 Texas at the Cotton Bowl last week. The Sooners won despite getting just one offensive touchdown, a two-yard run by Lloyd Avant early in the fourth quarter that tied the game. Dakoda Fields recovered a blocked punt in the end zone for a second-quarter score, and Peyton Bowen put OU up 24-17 with a 42-yard pick-six with 10:07 remaining.
The Sooners lead the all-time series 2-1 with two straight wins as the teams play for the first time since Sept. 18, 1982, at Kentucky.
Minchey comes in with 1,394 yards and 11 touchdowns with one interception for Kentucky while Baxter has 484 yards and eight scores on the ground. Kenny Darby enters with 29 receptions for 401 yards and three TDs. Mateer has thrown for 1,038 yards for Oklahoma, notching eight touchdowns with four picks. Isaiah Sategna III checks in with 25 catches, 331 yards and two scores and Avant tops the team with 236 rushing yards and two TDs.
