Out of all the football games I have watched, that was one of them. The Kentucky Wildcats leave Columbia victorious as they hold on for a 21-17 win over a Missouri Tigers team looking to win three straight.
Kentucky led 14-3 in the fourth but the defense let up on the gas a little, which led to the Tigers taking a 17-14 lead.
Kentucky responded with a Will Levis to Dane Key connection to take the lead with around five minutes remaining in the game.
The play of the game however, will go to Colin Goodfellow, Kentucky’s punter.
Late in the fourth, Cade Degraw snapped the ball over Goodfellow’s head, the ball traveled down to the two-yard line, Goodfellow picked it up and got punted it just in time before he was leveled by a Tigers defender.
Missouri was flagged for roughing the kicker because Goodfellow was technically still in the tackle box. Kentucky gets a free first down and basically seals the game off a potentially horrendous special teams botch.
Kentucky goes to 6-3 on the season is bowl eligible for the seventh straight season.
They get Vanderbilt at home next weekend. Here’s what Twitter had to say about that chaotic game:

Perfectly executed shoulder-to-shoulder hit by Tyrell Ajian. Don't care what the call is, great play.

I like what I’ve seen from Will Levis today. Limited attempts but he’s made some nice throws! pic.twitter.com/02DDHyL8ic

Trevin Wallace has 7 tackles (6 solo), 3 TFL’s, and 1 sack… IN THE FIRST HALF.

Honest question, this is roughing the kicker? The tackle box extends to St Louis?pic.twitter.com/1CeLgWzzMN

Kentucky’s shitty special team just won this game because they are awful.

You guys are so toxic never even considered the snapping issues might come in handy.

The fact that we can’t guarantee that we can snap to the Punter here to end the game is a sad statement

Too often this season, there is a reason to say, “What the hell is Kentucky doing?”

Punted that from the Mizzou 35 on fourth and 2 with the backup punter (zero experience) and guy who just sailed the last snap.
Worked out, but every dumb. https://t.co/PEFArSWwer

Will Levis looks battered. He’s tough as nails. Respect.
