FAYETTEVILLE, Arkansas (Ticker) -- Andre' Woodson made anothercase for himself as a Heisman Trophy candidate while Kentuckymade another statement.


Woodson threw a pair of touchdown passes and ran for anotherscore to lead the 21st-ranked Wildcats to a 42-29 triumph overArkansas in a Southeastern Conference shootout Saturday.

It was the second straight impressive win for the Wildcats (4-0,1-0 SEC East), who are off to their first 4-0 start since 2002.Kentucky entered the national rankings for the first timesince 1984 thanks to last week's thrilling 40-34 victory overthen-No. 9 Louisville.


Woodson was the hero of that contest, throwing a game-winning57-yard touchdown pass with 28 seconds remaining to lift theWildcats to their first win over a top-10 team since 1977.

Woodson was not as brilliant in this one, but he entered hisname in the NCAA record books in the second quarter. The seniorattempted his 272nd consecutive pass without an interception,breaking Ty Detmer's all-time mark.


But that was not the high point of the contest for Woodson, whoconnected on a 32-yard TD pass to Keenan Burton late in thefourth quarter to give Kentucky the lead for good.

Woodson also added a one-yard scoring run in the final minute toseal the win for the Wildcats, who scored the final 21 pointsof the game. The 6-5 signal-caller finished 20-of-38 for 270yards.


Trailing, 21-20, Arkansas (1-2, 0-2 West) took its first lead ofthe second half when defensive tackle Patrick Jones sackedWoodson in the end zone with 11:51 remaining.


Felix Jones made it 29-21 just 11 seconds later when he returnedthe ensuing kickoff 82 yards for a touchdown.


But Kentucky fought back thanks to running back Derrick Locke,who capped an 11-play drive with a two-yard touchdown run.

The Wildcats initially came up empty on the drive when LonesSeiber missed a 38-yard field goal. But Arkansas freshman RyanPowers was whistled for roughing the kicker, giving Kentuckyanother chance.


The true freshman also carried four times for 31 yards on theWildcats' next drive to set the stage for Woodson, who hooked upwith Burton for the go-ahead score with 4:02 left. Woodsonfound Burton again on the ensuing two-point conversion to giveKentucky a 35-29 lead.

FAYETTEVILLE, Arkansas (Ticker) -- Andre' Woodson made anothercase for himself as a Heisman Trophy candidate while Kentuckymade another statement.


Woodson threw a pair of touchdown passes and ran for anotherscore to lead the 21st-ranked Wildcats to a 42-29 triumph overArkansas in a Southeastern Conference shootout Saturday.

It was the second straight impressive win for the Wildcats (4-0,1-0 SEC East), who are off to their first 4-0 start since 2002.Kentucky entered the national rankings for the first time since1984 thanks to last week's thrilling 40-34 victory overthen-No. 9 Louisville.


"Our team managed to win on the road against a good team and ata tough place to play," Kentucky coach Rich Brooks said. "Webeat the defending west champions on the road."


Woodson was the hero of that contest, throwing a game-winning57-yard touchdown pass with 28 seconds remaining to lift theWildcats to their first win over a top-10 team since 1977.

Woodson was not as brilliant in this one, but he entered hisname in the NCAA record books in the second quarter. The seniorattempted his 272nd consecutive pass without an interception,breaking Ty Detmer's all-time mark.


But that was not the high point of the contest for Woodson, whoconnected on a 32-yard TD pass to Keenan Burton late in thefourth quarter to give Kentucky the lead for good.

"It was frustrating," Arkansas coach Houston Nutt said. "Weknew we had the game won, but just could not finish. CreditKentucky, they knew what our weaknesses were and they exploitedthem."


Woodson also added a one-yard scoring run in the final minute toseal the win for the Wildcats, who scored the final 21 pointsof the game. The 6-5 signal-caller finished 20-of-38 for 270yards.


Trailing, 21-20, Arkansas (1-2, 0-2 West) took its first lead ofthe second half when defensive tackle Patrick Jones sackedWoodson in the end zone with 11:51 remaining.


Felix Jones made it 29-21 just 11 seconds later when he returnedthe ensuing kickoff 82 yards for a touchdown.


But Kentucky fought back thanks to running back Derrick Locke,who capped an 11-play drive with a two-yard touchdown run.

"It felt good to get my number called," Locke said. "I reallywanted to play so I went out there at 110%. When (Coach Brooks)called my name I thought 'yes, this is my time'."


The Wildcats initially came up empty on the drive when LonesSeiber missed a 38-yard field goal. But Arkansas freshman RyanPowers was whistled for roughing the kicker, giving Kentuckyanother chance.


The true freshman also carried four times for 31 yards on theWildcats' next drive to set the stage for Woodson, who hooked upwith Burton for the go-ahead score with 4:02 left. Woodsonfound Burton again on the ensuing two-point conversion to giveKentucky a 35-29 lead.


"We've got to hang in there," Nutt said. "(Our players) aregoing to hear a lot of negativity. I told them to blame me.I've been (in this situation) before, and all we can do is keepfighting, keep working. There's a lot of football left, andthat's all that matters."
