On the eve of the 16th SEC championship game, we asked Lundquist and Danielson to give their thoughts on the top 10 moments of an unforgettable season of SEC football.
3. Tennessee beats Kentucky 52-50 in 4 OT, Nov. 24 in Lexington:
The day after LSU and Arkansas went three overtimes, Tennessee watched a 31-14 lead disappear in the second half and needed four overtimes to beat Kentucky 52-50 in Lexington. The win sent Tennessee to Saturday's SEC championship game against LSU with a team that was given up for dead after it lost 41-17 at Alabama on Oct. 20.
"Gary and I were at Florida-Florida State, but even down there you could feel the drama of that game as it unfolded," Lundquist said.

4. Kentucky beats No. 1 LSU in 3 OT, Oct. 13 in Lexington:
After scoring with about a minute left to beat Florida the week before in Baton Rouge, LSU was trying to escape with another close victory at Kentucky. The Wildcats rallied from 27-13 to take a 43-37 lead in the third overtime. LSU faced a fourth down and 2 yards to go to keep its drive alive. Running back Charles Scott was stopped after gaining only 1 yard by linebacker Braxton Kelley of LaGrange and the Wildcats had posted what many are calling the biggest win in the history of the school.
"The week before against Florida, LSU had lived by the fourth-down play, going 5-for-5," Danielson said. "On that night they died by it."

Not a bad list, but I think their #1 is overrated, and may be trying to appeal to the local media here. Anyway, its great to have the CATS in two of the top four games in the SEC this year!
