With every step late in a tight Citrus Bowl, Benny Snell earned every syllable of the “Benny, Benny, Benny” chant from the crowd that filled the Camping World Stadium.
Snell set the school career rushing record in the third quarter, but his runs in the final minutes when Penn State had whittled a 20-point Cats lead down to three won the game.
The junior running back, who will go onto the NFL Draft after this game, found his way through a crowded line of scrimmage to get enough first downs to help the Cats win 27-24.
It was the first bowl win of the Coach Mark Stoops era and helped Kentucky get to 10 wins for the first time since 1977.
