Woodson, Kentucky try to maintain momentum at Arkansas

Sep 22, 2007 - 12:36 PM No. 21 Kentucky (3-0) at Arkansas (1-1) 6:00 pm EDT

FAYETTEVILLE, Arkansas (Ticker) -- Arkansas' last contest ended in bitter defeat. Not so for Andre' Woodson and Kentucky.

After a thrilling victory, Woodson guides the 21st-ranked Wildcats into Fayetteville for a Southeastern Conference matchup with Darren McFadden and the Razorbacks.

Last Saturday, Woodson threw a go-ahead 57-yard touchdown to Steve Johnson with 28 seconds left, lifting Kentucky (3-0, 0-0 SEC East) to a wild 40-34 triumph over then-No. 9 Louisville.

An emerging Heisman Trophy candidate, Woodson completed 30-of-44 passes for 275 yards and four TDs for the Wildcats, who had not defeated a top-10 opponent since 1977.

While Kentucky celebrated a tremendous victory, Arkansas absorbed a heartbreaking loss at Alabama. The Razorbacks rallied from an early 21-point deficit to take a late lead before falling to the Crimson Tide, 41-38.

Considered the preseason Heisman favorite, McFadden rushed for 195 yards and two TDs for the Razorbacks (1-1, 0-1 West), who surrendered a four-yard TD pass from John Parker Wilson to Matt Caddell with eight seconds left.

The teams' last meeting came in 2003, when Arkansas outlasted Kentucky, 71-63, in an NCAA-record seven overtimes and nearly five hours of play.
