Are you mad Indiana isn't scheduling more difficult opponents?
You'd think it would be hard to top winning a game by pushing your chips to the center of the table and putting everything on a two-point conversion attempt in overtime to win, like the Kentucky Wildcats did last week against South Carolina.
Well, they found a way: they did it again, and this time it was against the No. 10 LSU Tigers.

The two teams traded scoring drives all game long, with both quarterbacks, LSU's Sam Leavitt and Kentucky's Kenny Minchy, both having big nights, throwing for 275 and 246 yards respectively.
By the end of regulation, it was tied 27-27, with LSU getting the first possession in overtime.
Leavitt got things started with a 10-yard pass, and then followed it up with a 15-yard run to the house to give LSU the lead.
Coach Lane Kiffin sent out his kicking team, and Scott Starzyk booted the extra point to give them a seven-point lead.
WHO'S REALLY PLAYED THE BEST THUS FAR THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL SEASON?
This is exactly what happened to Kentucky just one week earlier against the Gamecocks. Kentucky gave up a touchdown and extra point, and then countered with a touchdown of their own and a two-point conversion for the win.

Running back CJ Baxter scored on a 1-yard run, and sure enough, Kentucky coach Will Stein kept his offense on the field.
The two-point attempt wasn't without drama. Kiffin used a timeout, and then Stein used one of his own just in time to negate a crystal-clear false start on his Wildcats.
When they finally got the ball off, LSU seemed to think they were going to pass it, which gave Minchy a ton of daylight to trot into the end zone for the win.
What a way to end it... again!
That made the Wildcats the first team in FBS history to win back-to-back overtime games by a single point.
Will Stein should probably hit a roulette table the way his gambling has been paying off.
