Your University of Kentucky Wildcats made the cut twice. You probably weren’t around to remember the first. Ranked No. 71 is Kentucky’s 13-7 win over Oklahoma in the 1951 Sugar Bowl.
Kentucky coach Bear Bryant used three defensive tackles and nine-men in the box to slow down the Sooners and end their 31-game winning streak. Wilbur Jamerson caught and rushed for a touchdown in the first half and five Oklahoma turnovers helped the Wildcats hang on for the upset win.
The second appearance by the Wildcats is game you probably wish you could forget, 2002’s Bluegrass Miracle.
