Kentucky Defeats No. 10 LSU 35-34 in OT, Setting FBS Record for Consecutive One-Point Wins
Kentucky defeated No. 10 LSU 35-34 in overtime on October 10, 2026, at Kroger Field in Lexington. The victory, decided by a successful two-point conversion, marked the first time an FBS team has won consecutive overtime games by a single point. Kentucky improved to 5-1, while LSU suffered its second loss of the season and its eighth consecutive road loss in conference play. The game featured missed field goals by Kentucky and turnovers by LSU, but the Wildcats capitalized on a final-play run by quarterback Kenny Minchey to secure the win. This result intensifies pressure on LSU’s College Football Playoff hopes while boosting Kentucky’s own postseason prospects under first-year coach Will Stein.
