“There’s two wideouts each way as he drops to throw it. Steps up into the pocket—it’s deflected up into the air, IT’S INTERCEPTED! TOUCHDOWN! KENTUCKY! BUD DUPREE CAUGHT IT AND RAN IT IN!”
—Tom Leach on the UK radio call
In Year 2 of the Stoops rebuild, UK was looking to get off the ground after a dismal 2-10 2013 that featured no SEC wins—an exact replica of the 2012 season that got Joker Phillips fired. In the first two games they easily handled FCS UT Martin 59-14 and MAC Ohio 20-3.
In Week 3 they came inches away from defeating Florida in the Swamp, a feat that would’ve turned BBN’s world upside down, but faltered in 3OT.
