In what has been quite the recent turnaround for Kentucky, the Wildcats got a huge win over Mississippi State on a last second field goal that gave them the win.

Mark Stoops and his team looked down and out after the Florida game, but his team has responded and a well deserved bye week proved to be what the Wildcats needed in order to get passed the Bulldogs on Saturday night. Kentucky now finds itself only two wins away from bowl eligibility. With remaining games against Missouri and Austin Peay, the Wildcats certainly have a shot at getting that coveted sixth win that has eluded them for the past two seasons. The matchup against Missouri next week could be the deciding game.

Next game: October 29, 2016 at Missouri, 12:00pm ET SEC Network
