In 2003, Andre Woodson was recruited to Kentucky. During his Freshman season, Andre Woodson served as a backup to Shane Boyd, and appeared in seven games (including one start). For the 2005 season, Andre Woodson was named as the starting quarterback. The Wildcats ended 2005 with a 3-8 record, with Andre Woodson completing nearly 58 percent of his passes, while throwing for 1,644 yards.
After the 2006 spring practice, it appeared Andre Woodson would lose his position to his backup, Curtis Pulley. Spurred by this, Woodson started spending more time lifting weights, began leading the team in practice, and soon became the choice for starting quarterback. The 2006 season, Andre Woodson's junior season, was a break out season, with Andre Woodson leading the Wildcats to a 7-5 regular season, and their first bowl win in 22 years, in the Music City Bowl. Not only did he lead his team but also led the SEC in passing yards with 3,515, and became only the second Kentucky quarterback to throw 30 or more touchdowns in a single season.
On September 22, 2007, Andre Woodson broke Trent Dilfer's all-time record of 271 consecutive pass attempts without an interception against the Arkansas Razorbacks. The streak ended, however, when Andre Woodson threw his first interception in 325 attempts on September 29, 2007 against Florida Atlantic University .
Kentucky Wildcats would play Bowden's Florida State Seminoles in the Music City Bowl Dec. 31 in Nashville (kickoff at 4 p.m. Eastern time).
