The Wildcats had the upper hand for most of the game, and as the clock ticked down, their fans were already preparing to storm the field and celebrate a hard-fought victory. The Kentucky players, in a show of exuberance, had even doused their head coach, Guy Morriss, with Gatorade. It seemed as if the game was all but over.

However, fate had a different plan. With mere seconds remaining, LSU quarterback Marcus Randall dropped back to pass from his own 15-yard line. A Kentucky defender tipped the ball, but it fell into the waiting arms of LSU wide receiver Devery Henderson. Henderson, with incredible speed and determination, raced down the field, evading tackles and finally crossing the goal line for a stunning 74-yard touchdown.

The improbable victory secured a 33-30 win for the No. 16-ranked LSU Tigers, leaving the Kentucky faithful stunned and the LSU fans ecstatic. This miraculous play would go down as one of the most unforgettable moments in college football history, and ESPN would later rank it as the 113th greatest college game ever played.
