Thanks so much for posting this. To the eyes of this Louisville fan, that's absolutely priceless.

Whoever the UK secondary coach is, I hope he's updated his resume.

Yes, but in that case he could be a fan of any SEC school. An amazing talented conference, with the best athletes money can buy(and tax-free, to boot.)

There was an even more stunning end to a CFL game last year between Calgary and Edmonton.

Edmonton scored a touchdown to go up by one point with about 30 seconds left in the game. Because it would have been pointless to kick the extra point to go up by two, Edmonton decided to try for a 2-point conversion that would put them up by three points (so a last-second field goal by Calgary would only tie the game).

The Edmonton quarterback threw a pass toward one side of the end zone, and a Calgary defensive back intercepted it and ran it all the way back for a "touchdown." According to CFL rules (and NFL rules too, I think), any pass (or blocked kick that is recovered before it touches the ground) that is returned the length of the field like this counts for the number of points that would have been scored if the offensive team had converted successfully (two points in this case). Calgary won the game by a single point.

I think I saw that also on ESPN. People were shouting at the TV on the replay as well.. this college game was pretty dramatic with the ball being tipped twice and then the reciever outrunning the two defenders to the goal for the TD.(while UK was giving Gataorade showers to coaches and tearing down the goal posts)

Kind of like the Stanford-Cal trombone player ending crossed with the Doug Flutie Boston College Hail Mary.

I believe that's the rule in college FB, but not the NFL. The outcomes of several college games have been affected by the rule.

I told someone earlier that these three plays have to be the most memorable finishes in college football history.
