Highlights, box score & MVP from Wildcats’ thriller vs. Hokies

The Kentucky Wildcats found themselves in a battle at the Belk Bowl, both literally and figuratively.

After the pregame shenanigans, the game came down to the wire before Lynn Bowden threw a touchdown pass to Josh Ali with 15 second remaining to secure the victory. Then to put the icing on the cake of the 37-30 victory, Akeem Hayes returned a fumble for a touchdown as time expired.

It was another legendary performance for a legendary player. Bowden finished the game with 233 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the ground in addition to 73 passing yards and the game-winning touchdown pass.
