LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) Kentucky coach Mark Stoops admitted he was worried in the final seven minutes of regulation with the Wildcats facing a 14-point deficit to FCS opponent Eastern Kentucky.
But Kentucky rallied with two touchdowns before the end of regulation and another in overtime to defeat the Colonels 34-27 and avoid a stunning upset.
Patrick Towles led the charge, finishing with 329 yards passing and three touchdown passes, including one in the final minute of regulation and one in overtime.
