Chris Rodriguez Jr. slammed the door shut on any potential LSU comeback during the fourth quarter of Saturday night’s monster win over the Tigers.
Kentucky was ahead 35-21 with 4:30 left in regulation, staring down a 2nd and three inside the red zone. A two-touchdown lead with time running low felt like enough of a cushion for the Big Blue Nation, but C-Rod made sure that every fan was able to breath more comfortably.
Rodriguez, who finished with 147 rushing yards and two total touchdowns on the night, broke loose and found a gap in the LSU defense, scampering in for an 18-yard score.
