For a Kentucky kicker who has nailed multiple game winners, an extra point on Saturday felt unnecessarily scary.
“I’ve never been more nervous for an extra point in my whole life,” Austin MacGinnis said with a smile after Kentucky’s 40-34 victory over Missouri in which the senior became the Cats’ career scoring leader.
The extra point that would help MacGinnis pass Lones Seiber in the UK record book had a little extra drama attached to it as officials stopped play to make sure running back Benny Snell hadn’t gone out of bounds on his long touchdown run down the Kroger Field sideline.
