Kentucky 31 - 28 S. Carolina (Final)

But NOOOOOO!!!!! Carolina goes for the win, as expected, and Carolina quarterback Steven Garcia throws the ball into the end zone -- where it is tipped, tipped again -- and finally INTERCEPTED! KENTUCKY HAS DONE IT! For the first time in their history, the Wildcats hold the UCFC title!

What an utter disaster for South Carolina. Ranked number 10 in the country, with an 18-point lead and a chance to take a firm grip on first place in the SEC East, the Gamecocks utterly fell apart. And then, when they only needed an easy field goal to send the game into overtime, they throw an interception -- the one way they could have lost the game. As well-coached as Carolina looked last week -- they looked that bad in the second half this week.

Kentucky fans will, of course, see this as payback for last year's basketball game in which Carolina knocked UK from the ranks of the unbeaten.

So Kentucky is now 1-7 in UCFC games. The Wildcats will mount their first UCFC defense in history next week in Lexington. They will face the Georgia Bulldogs.

South Carolina loses the UCFC title after only one week. The Gamecocks' all-time UCFC record falls to 4-12.
