Auburn running back Jarquez Hunter rushed for 278 yards, the most by any FBS player this season, and two touchdowns on Saturday to snap the Tigers' four-game slide with their first SEC victory, a 24-10 road comeback win at Kentucky Wildcats.
Hunter put together a career-best performance on just 23 carries and broke three rushes of 40 or more yards, including a 45-yard touchdown to put the game away in the fourth quarter. His 278 rushing yards were the fourth-most in a game in program history.
The Tigers started 0-4 in SEC conference play with losses to Arkansas, Oklahoma, Georgia and Missouri but found a way to rally against Kentucky, powered by a rushing attack that totaled 326 yards on the ground, the most allowed by a Wildcats team since 2018.
