What is the story about?

Will Stein has, in just half a season, has completely changed the trajectory of the Kentucky football program. On Saturday night, in front of the world on ESPN, Stein declined a tie in overtime, went for two, and converted for a win. This time the victim was the No. 10 LSU Tigers.

There have been some thrilling moments between the Wildcats and Tigers this century. The Bluegrass Miracle broke the hearts of every Kentucky fan, while Stevie Johnson's game-winner in overtime in 2007 was a high point for the program.

Saturday night's win was another one to add to the list. Kentucky missed two fourth quarter field goals that would have tied it, and things looked bleak. The defense got one more stop, though, and Kenny Minchey led his team down the field,

and Adam Zouagui wouldn't miss a third time. In overtime, Michey hit Kenny Darby to set up C.J. Baxter for the TD, and then Minchey went straight up the middle for the game-winner, spurring fans to rush the field.

This was a big one for Kentucky, and Big Blue Nation had plenty to say afterwards. Here are some of the best reactions on social media.
