WWW.MSTATEATHLETICS.COM THE LAST MEETING Mississippi State 31 THE LAST MEETING

No. 14 Kentucky 14 October 27, 2007 Commonwealth Stadium • Lexington, Ky.

LEXINGTON, Ky. - Two critical turnovers by Kentucky early in the second half led to 10 Mississippi State points and helped the Bulldogs upset the 14th-ranked Wildcats 31-14. The victory upped State's record to 5-4 overall, 2-3 in the Southeastern Conference. With State leading 14-7 at halftime, UK (6-3, 2-3) took the opening kickoff of the second half but Alfonso Smith fumbled and Bulldog Keith Fitzhugh fell on the ball at the Wildcat 32. Seven plays later, place-kicker Adam Carlson hit a 31-yard field goal to give MSU a 17-7 lead early in the third period. On UK's next possession, the Bulldogs forced a punt, but Wildcat punter Tim Masthay was forced to pull the ball down and run. State took over at the UK 26. Wesley Carroll found Jason Husband to convert a third-and-11; and two Anthony Dixon rushes later, State was in the end zone and led 24-7 with 8:16 to go in the third quarter. State's defense would be the story the rest of the way, allowing the potent Wildcat offense just seven points in the second half. The remainder of the game would see the Bulldog defense stop the Wildcats twice on downs, pick off three Kentucky passes, recover one UK fumble, and force one punt. The fumble set up State's final points of the day. Two rushes by Bulldog Christian Ducre, the second a 34-yard scamper to paydirt, gave MSU its 31-14 advantage.
