Our countdown of the top 15 Kentucky Wildcats moments from the 2025-26 year, and are nearing the top five. The No. 6 moment comes to us from the football field, and was a play that preserved a win over the Auburn Tigers for the first time since 2009.
Kentucky entered the matchup with Auburn having lost four straight games, and the hopes for a bowl appearance were disappearing rapidly. The Tigers were also having a disappointing season, so both teams needed a victory.
The Wildcats struck first, taking a 3-0 lead in the second quarter, but it would be 3-3 at the half. The first, and only, touchdown of the game came early in the second half on a Cutter Boley pass to Kendrick Law, giving Kentucky the lead once again.
The game would end with a Kentucky interception, but the play of the day came shortly before that. With the Cats trying to run the clock down, Boley threw an ill-advised pass that was intercepted by Auburn. However, during the return, Wildcats receiver Cam Miller chased down the defender, and stripped him of the football, which was recovered by Kentucky.
It was a pure hustle play by Miller, and showed that, despite a tough season, he had not given up. Those are the kinds of plays that inspire teammates, and it helped trigger a three-game winning streak that nearly got Kentucky bowl eligible.
