AUBURN, Ala. (AP) - Randall Cobb scored the go-ahead touchdown
on a 4-yard run with 3:17 to play as Kentucky came from behind to
defeat Auburn 21-14 Saturday night.
It was Kentucky's first win over Auburn since 1966.
Cobb set up the winning score with a 61-yard zig-zagging run two
plays earlier. Cobb rushed 12 times for 109 yards and the Wildcats'
Derrick Locke ran 19 times for 137 yards.
Kentucky (3-3, 1-3 Southeastern Conference) had tied the score
with 6:29 to play on a 2-yard run by quarterback Will Fidler.
Fidler came off the bench in the second half to lead the comeback.
He replaced freshman Morgan Newton, who had started the game in the
place of injured Mike Hartline.
Auburn (5-2, 2-2) held a 14-7 halftime lead, but was held
scoreless by the Kentucky defense in the second half. Ben Tate
rushed 31 times for 132 yards.
