Vandagriff’s 63-yard completion to Brown on fourth-and-7 at the Kentucky 20-yard line provided a game-winning score, which was sealed by Kattus’ fumble recovery in the end zone.

The roll of the dice paid off in arguably the most significant win of Stoops’ 12-year tenure, as Kentucky defeated No. 5 Mississippi 20-17 at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

Kentucky’s attempt to clinch victory in the fourth round on Saturday – late in a close conference game – was in direct contrast to its loss to Georgia earlier this month. In that game, which was a 13-12 loss, Stoops punted on fourth-and-8 with less than three minutes to play. The Bulldogs then faded for most of the remaining time to escape with a point win in Lexington.
