In the span of less than six minutes of game clock, Kentucky regained control of its undefeated season in the most dramatic of fashions—and then lost it with a kick off the crossbar.
The fact that Miles Butler’s overtime field goal attempt came about as close as possible to good before clanging off the crossbar and out was irrelevant. Texas A&M was methodical as it marched down the field in the first overtime: nine-yard run, two-yard run, four-yard run, then Trayveon Williams’s 10-yard run for a touchdown. Even if the Kentucky field goal had crept over the bar, the game would have still gone to the Aggies minutes later.
