Kentucky QB Minchey scores 2-point conversion in overtime to beat No. 10 LSU 35-34
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky quarterback Kenneth Minchey scored a crucial 2-point conversion in overtime, securing a 35-34 victory over No. 10 LSU. Minchey's 23-of-36, 246-yard passing performance marked a significant contribution to the win, with 206 yards coming in the second half. C.J. Baxter led the way for Kentucky, rushing for 123 yards — 77 on the team's opening play — and scoring two touchdowns.
Freshman receiver Kenneth Darby added 79 yards on four catches, including a key 22-yard reception in overtime to set up the final play. LSU's Sam Leavitt finished 25-of-34 for 275 yards and two touchdowns, but an interception and a fumble limited his impact. Despite giving up 401 yards to Kentucky in overtime, LSU's defense had allowed an average of 220.6 yards per game, ranking third in the nation. Kentucky advances to face No. 17 Mississippi State next Saturday.
