LEXINGTON, Ky. — Arkansas' leaders on defense were confident in the gameplan for Kentucky receiver-turned-quarterback Lynn Bowden.
In the days leading up to the Razorbacks and Wildcats' first meeting since 2012, freshman running back A'Montae Spivey and Arizona State transfer tailback Trelon Smith provided the defense a look that coaches believed would best prepare it for Kentucky's top playmaker. Bowden, who took almost all of the team's snaps out of the shotgun, made Arkansas look foolish and ill-prepared Saturday night.
The junior accounted for 274 yards of offense and all three of the Wildcats' touchdowns in Kentucky's 24-20 come-from-behind win over the Razorbacks.
