Chris Rodriguez Jr. on his 4th quarter TD against LSU: "I hate that play"

Chris Rodriguez Jr. slammed the door shut on any potential LSU comeback during the fourth quarter of Saturday night’s monster win over the Tigers.

Kentucky was ahead 35-21 with 4:30 left in regulation, staring down a 2nd and three inside the red zone. A two-touchdown lead with time running low felt like enough of a cushion for the Big Blue Nation, but C-Rod made sure that every fan was able to breath more comfortably.

Rodriguez, who finished with 147 rushing yards and two total touchdowns on the night, broke loose and found a gap in the LSU defense, scampering in for an 18-yard score.
