Give Tashawn Manning an Academy Award

And the Oscar goes to…

Kentucky fans witnessed remarkable performances in the 27-17 victory over No. 16 Mississippi State. Chris Rodriguez had almost 200 yards rushing. Will Levis was a perfect 9-for-9 on third down. Brad White’s defense held the Mississippi State offense to 29 points below its season average. Those numbers cannot hold a candle to the fourth quarter performance by Tashawn Manning.

Late in the game things got chippy between the UK offense and the Mississippi State defense. Following one hard fought run, words turned into actions.
