It was not as though Saturday night was anything new.
There was the 1988 game when Bill Curry-coached Alabama rallied from 27-10 down to beat UK 31-27. And the Chris Doering catch with three seconds left for Florida’s 24-20 win in 1993. And LSU’s Bluegrass Miracle 33-30 victory in 2002. When Florida was driving in the fourth quarter Saturday night at Kroger Field, you knew the feeling.
As a student in 1980, writing for the Kentucky Kernel, I was standing on the sideline late in a game when Florida receiver Cris Collinsworth made a catch near the boundary.
