​The Kentucky Wildcats football program dropped out of the top 25 despite winning on the road in the SEC last week. The Cats left no doubt about whether or not they would be ranked this week as they derailed the Lane Train and sent LSU back home with a 35- 34 loss.And the sports world lit up with reactions to not only the game, but the gutsy play from Kenny Minchey, who called his own number in OT.Stein just told Tom Leach that the 2 point play to win the game was NOT a QB draw. Minchey just did it on his own. Wow !!!! @ESPNRadioLex— alan cutler (@cutler1300) October 11, 2026ESPN’s Pat McAfee was part of a LSU prediction sweep earlier on Saturday, as everyone on the set picked the Tigers. But Pat’s reaction after may make him think twice before picking agaisnt Stein again.WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY GLORIOUS WIN FOR KENTUCKY— Pat McAfee (@PatMcAfeeShow) October 11, 2026Kentucky says, we’ll pay the fine.

The Cats football social media team did a little Photoshop:LSU’s defense hasn’t seen anyone like us or our offensive line yet. pic.twitter.com/TtKWfCe4y0— Kentucky Football (@UKFootball) October 11, 2026Two straight weeks.Two straight OT wins.Two straight 2-pt conversions.Ice in their veins 🥶The Will Stein era of @UKFootball 📈 pic.twitter.com/6zqjUI6BWq— SEC Network (@SECNetwork) October 11, 2026Everyone has hope now. Doesn’t matter how bad you were the year before. Ok State, UCLA, Kentucky.The right coach + the right portal guys.— Stewart Mandel (@slmandel) October 10, 2026@CoachWillStein is a marvelous Head Coach and Joe Sloan the O/C does it to his old employer and the formation and pre-snap movement opened the Red Sea allowing the 2pt. conversion for a 2nd straight win. Pretty amazing night in The Commonwealth. @LSUFootball is now up against it!— Tim Brando (@TimBrando) October 11, 2026Wow
