Top 10 College Football Games That Had Divine Intervention
4. 2002: LSU Tigers Beat Kentucky Wildcats 33-30
Since Nick Saban took over the LSU Tigers football program and through the Les Miles era, this might be the luckiest program in college football history. Miles alone was blessed with the fortune of unlikely wild endings to beat Tennessee in 2010 and Auburn in 2007 and coaching the first two-loss team to make it into the national championship.
But this game started it all. Known as the Bluegrass Miracle, LSU was still building up its football program under Saban and was on the road against a jumpstart Kentucky team under Guy Morris.
The Wildcats were on probation but were on the path to having a winning record for the year for the first time since 1999, and after taking a 30-27 lead over the Tigers with seconds left, fans in Lexington thought they had pulled off the upset.
And with one play left for the Tigers on their own 24-yard line, quarterback Marcus Randall threw the luckiest Hail Mary pass anybody could ever throw. Here it is.
Of course, it was a great throw, but the luck of so many tips and a 74-yarder, not a 50-yarder, resulting in a touchdown on a Hail Mary, makes this extremely lucky. It is enough alone to put this game in the Top 5.
And hey, Hampton, as you can see here, the Kentucky athletic program can indeed be cursed by a higher power.
