Kentucky Wildcats Upset Sixth-Ranked Ole Miss, Shocking the College Football World

Kentucky has stunned the college football world once again, this time upsetting sixth-ranked Ole Miss 20-17 in Oxford, Mississippi.

The Kentucky Wildcats have pulled off their second major upset in as many weeks, following their near-victory over top-ranked Georgia with a stunning defeat of sixth-ranked Ole Miss on Saturday.

The Wildcats traveled to Oxford, Mississippi, and emerged victorious in a hard-fought contest that came down to the final seconds. Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart led a late drive that gave his kicker a chance to tie the game, but Caden Davis' 48-yard field goal attempt hooked wide left with just 48 seconds remaining.

Kentucky's defense held strong after allowing a crucial fourth down conversion to Dart, securing the upset win in emphatic fashion.

The Wildcats' offense struggled for most of the game, but they found their rhythm when it mattered most. Down 17-13 with under four minutes left, Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops made a bold decision to keep his offense on the field on fourth and 7 at their own 20-yard line.

Vandagriff finished with 243 passing yards and a touchdown in the win, while Dane Key hauled in eight receptions for 105 yards and a touchdown.
