LEXINGTON, Ky. u2015 Cassanova McKinzy had seen Auburn go up and down the field, Kentucky get a bunch of yards, too, and decided enough was enough.

"It was our time to win the game."

The Buck linebacker and the rest of the Auburn defense did just that, stopping Kentucky on a final last-gasp drive with a fourth-down stop around midfield to help the Tigers to a 30-27 victory in Commonwealth Stadium.

Linebacker Justin Garrett had the final defensive honors when he tackled quarterback Patrick Towles for with 25 seconds remaining.
