LIVE UPDATE: VANDERBILT-KENTUCKY: WE DO IT!

The Cats were taking control and we scored to take a 14 point lead. Now the Cats have seemingly taken control again. Eight minutes left. Here we go:

• 8:22: Josh Allen on the return. Josh Allen? We need good field position and Josh Allen is returning the kickoff?

• 8:12: 1st & 10. Barden grabs a pass and bulls his way for seven yards. 2nd & 3 on the VU35. Nickson spins and avoids a loss. 3rd & 3. This is huge.

• 7:15: 3rd & 3. Nickson keeps it as he should and gets 5 yards and the first down. He's got 118 yards rushing in this game.

• 6:41: 1st & 10 on the VU40. Hawkins runs and gets nothing.

• 5:54: 2nd & 11. Barden with a shoe-string catch that will surely be reviewed. And overturned. It wouldn't have been for a first down.

• 5:25: The pass was incomplete. Barden should get an Academy Award for that one.

• 3rd & 11. DJ Moore on the field. But Nickson throws to Hawkins who gets up to the VU45.

• Nice punt by Upson. 1st & 10 for the Cats on the UK25. First down pass up to the UK37. Cobb has ice water in his veins.

• 4:33: Another first down for the Cats. They've gotten a second life. OK, maybe a ninth life. 1st & 10 on the UK49. Another 11-yard completion.

• 3:56: 1st & 10 on the VU40. Cobb scrambles for five. Timeout Kentucky.

• 3:23: 2nd & 5 on the VU35. Pass to the end zone. DJ there. Incomplete. Crowd wants a flag. Nope.

• 3:17: 3rd & 5: Another timeout for Kentucky with two seconds left on the play clock after Vanderbilt shows blitz.

• Here we go: Cobb keeps the ball and gets the first down.

• 3:10: 1st & 10 on the VU29. Incomplete in the end zone. Myron Lewis had the receiver covered like a blanket.

• 2:52: 2nd & 10 still on the 29. Receiver drops it, stuck by the true freshman Caey Hayward.

• 2:49: 3rd & 10 still on the 29. Here we go: Pass complete but short of the first down.

• 2:24: 4th & 4 on the VU24. Intercepted by DJ Moore!

• 2:01: Hawkins bulls his way for 8 yards. Kentucky uses its last timeout.

• 2nd & 2 on the VU25. Hawkins gets the first down. He's carried 14 times for 81 yards.

• 1:38: 1st & 10. Nickson takes a knee.

• I'm not gonna believe it until the clock is at 0:00.

• 0:40: 2nd & 10. Another knee.

IT'S OVER. WE DON'T HAVE TO TALK ABOUT SIX WINS AGAIN!

Thanks, Greg. I'll certainly continue blogging. Mowen is a co-worker of mine and I was kidding that I wasn't going to show up to work, which is probably not true.
