Kentucky football brought it down to the last second, but they were able to pull out a shocking win over Drew Lock and the Missouri Tigers.

Kentucky’s season was on the line as Terry Wilson and company lined up in the red zone with less than ten ticks left on the clock, live from Columbia, Missouri. However, “Terry Touchdown” was able to get just enough on the final play to sneak out of CoMo with a win.

A questionable pass interference call and an untimed down set up this stunning walk-off play:

For Missouri, this game all but confirmed what we all knew to be true. The Tigers aren’t big game warriors. Drew Lock isn’t the great quarterback that everyone thinks that he is. His defense, while it was able to get Wilson and Snell off their game, hasn’t been enough to keep themselves in the win column. It was a defensive fail, as shown above, that lost them this game after all.

For Kentucky, the biggest learning point here is that this team isn’t even close to ready for the Georgia Bulldogs a week from now. This team has been all-but consistent since they took on Texas A&M a few weeks ago. Now, they have won two extremely close games to Missouri and Vanderbilt. That level of play isn’t going to get you anywhere against Georgia as the two teams fight for an SEC East title in Week 10.

Kentucky has strong defensive players, no one is arguing that point at all. They had quite a few moments that were game savers if you will against Missouri, but just a few big-time plays won’t  win you an SEC East title;

Sorry, Wildcats. Congratulations on your win, but until the offense gets their act together, it’s going to be tough sledding against Georgia and possibly further into the rest of the season.
