The Kentucky Wildcats needed a huge comeback to beat the Missouri Tigers on Saturday night, winning on an untimed down at the end of the game.
QB Terry Wilson was great, leading an 82-yard scoring drive with less than two minutes left.
How was he able to stay so cool after only throwing for 18 yards the previous week against Vanderbilt? On “The Jim Rome Show” on Wednesday, Wilson credited his coaches for putting together a great game plan:

“I don’t think I was feeling any pressure because we practice two minutes all the time here,” he said. “Our coaches do a great job keeping us ready for those situations, so when we go out there, we know we can execute it. Everybody knows their assignment. Everybody knows ‘Hey, we’ve got to get out of bounds and play smart football.’ Coach Stoops does a great job of getting our IQ high, so when those situations come, we’re ready and can move the ball.”
It worked last week, but Kentucky will need to do better this weekend when No. 6 Georgia comes to town.
