Kentucky Football snapped a three-game losing streak with a victory over the Vanderbilt Commodores in Nashville, 34-17. The win also clinched the program’s second winning season in the Southeastern Conference since 1977. Debby Boone had the No. 1 song in America back then with “You Light Up My Life.”
Kentucky lit up the scoreboard early at Vandy with touchdowns on its first three possessions of the game: throws from Will Levis to Wan’Dale Robinson and Izayah Cummings, and one rushing TD for Chris Rodriguez. Rodriguez crossed the 1,000-yard mark for his career with 90 before halftime.
The defense also joined in on the fun with sophomore safety Jalen Geiger’s 31-yard pick-6 of Ken Seals’ wild throw.
