Kentucky QB during “Bluegrass Miracle” game, Jared Lorenzen dies at 38

Known as the “Hefty Lefty,” his size made him a fan favorite as he started all four years while with the team. Kentucky would have its most success with Lorenzen in 2002 when the team achieved a 7-5 record.

The 2002 season would also bring one of the more infamous moments in Kentucky history. During a game against LSU, Lorenzen prematurely gave head coach Guy Morriss a Gatorade bath before the Tigers won the game on a hail mary touchdown pass.

The game is commonly known as the “Bluegrass Miracle.”
