Kentucky football's Josh Paschal out of cancer treatment, back to creating turnovers

LEXINGTON – Josh Paschal heard the halftime message as “Make something happen.” He would heed that instruction at his first opportunity.

Kentucky’s sophomore linebacker reversed the torpid trend of the Wildcats’ season opener Saturday afternoon by forcing a fumble on Toledo’s first play of the third quarter, and then delivering a drive-killing sack on the Rockets’ next possession.

A game that had been tied at 14-14 would soon show a 10-point gap, largely the product of Paschal's two plays, and it ultimately ended as a 38-24 UK victory.
