Mark Story recounts UK's 25 most memorable football games since 1983

Herald-Leader Sports Columnist Mark Story has looked back at all the Kentucky football games since 1983, when the Herald-Leader began its electronic archive, and has selected his top 25 most memorable games. One game will be revealed each day until Sept. 4, the day before UK opens its season against Miami (Ohio). Check each day to see where your favorite game was ranked. No. 1: No miracles necessary as Cats beat No. 1, solidify status (Oct. 13, 2007)

Mark Story’s comment: Talk about your Bluegrass Miracles. Braxton Kelley’s stop of LSU’s Charles Scott on fourth-and-2 in the third overtime gave UK its first victory over a No. 1-ranked team since 1964.

Excerpt: "It wasn't quite a miracle, but it was close. The main difference this time was that it was pulled off by the boys in blue and there were no fluky Hail Mary's deciding the outcome."
