This great one-handed catch by Kentucky's Javess Blue was a thing of beauty.
“I had to make the catch." Blue said "I just squeezed the ball tight and prayed that I held it and was in bounds and then still happened to have it. I was like, ‘Where’s my other arm?’ I had to think about it for a minute and then I realized the cornerback had my arm so I just had to reach for it with my right. I am looking forward to seeing it on TV. I’ll be up and ready. It’s probably not the best catch I’ve ever made, but it’s up there.”
Is their video evidence of that better catch.
By the way after falling behind 14-3 to Louisiana-Monroe Kentucky scored 45 unanswered points to win 48-14.
The Wildcats 5-1 start is their best since 2007,

The Battle To Be The University of Louisiana: La.Lafayette vs. La. Monroe
((ht: thenewsstar.com))
Oh boy. The Lovely Bride may get upset at me saying this, but "Only in Louisiana".
It appears that the University of Louisiana at Lafayette may be in a bit of trouble with it's state legislature and with other state schools.
In a rather lengthy story in the Monroe News-Star, reporter Tabby Soignier goes into detail to explain what the Rajun Cajuns have done to anger some folks.
The school has apparently made a concerted effort to market themselves as UL or University of Louisiana, leaving out the Lafayette part.
The problem, it's a violation of state law. And the University of Louisiana at Monroe, well, they aren't too thrilled about it either.
The Cajuns have been sticklers with ESPN and others about using the "UL" branding while talking about them, something that the folks at the 4-letter kind of balked at. The Warhawks in Monroe, well, their complaint is it makes them sound like a sister school.
According to Soignier, the state came up with the law, to keep one school from proclaiming itself the state's "Flagship" school. Though we are pretty sure, LSU has more name recognition than all the directional Louisiana schools combined.
Anyway, read Soignier's article in the News-Star RIGHT HERE
It will be interesting to see how this plays out. The law appears to not state a penalty for doing this, the question is, how far will the calling out go?
We get Monroe's argument, and quite honestly it's a valid one, that they don't want to be considered a "Little Sister".
Conversely, Lafayette, which has had some success on the national stage of late, we get why they are trying to do this too.
Our guess is this has the makings of a regional war, the fun part is going to be seeing how far all three sides in this debate are going to be willing to take it.
