It will have been almost two years since the EKU Colonels almost shocked the college football world at Commonwealth Stadium. The Colonels, from the OVC, lead the SEC's Kentucky Wildcats 27-13 until deep into the fourth quarter. The Wildcats rallied and forced overtime and saved face with a 34-27 win, but this was definitely the one that got away for the Colonels.
These are totally different teams that will take the field for game two of the 2017 season at Kroger Field, but there always seems to be a plethora of storylines that follow this game.
