Oh, Kentucky. You had a chance to shock the world with the rest of college football celebrating behind you. Instead, you punted the ball on the plus side of the field with three minutes remaining in what could have been a huge upset over the Georgia Bulldogs. Kentucky lost 13-12 in a game where they could have defeated the No. 1 team in the country. Alas, Kentucky is now last in the SEC.
