Summary
State Street in Lexington filled with Kentucky students and fans who set couches ablaze after the Wildcats beat No. 9 Texas A&M 31-21 in College Station.
Videos from the scene showed furniture burning in the longtime post-upset ritual near campus, with police moving quickly to shut down the bonfire before it spread.
The celebration revived a roughly 20-year tradition tied to signature Wildcat wins and underscored the jolt around Kentucky football after a top-10 road victory.
Will Stein's first road game as Kentucky head coach produced the upset, giving the program an early statement win and sparking the street party 1,000 miles from the game site.
