Tuesday’s Citrus Bowl saw Kentucky’s Benny Snell break through the middle of the pack with 1:35 left in the third quarter to become the all-time rushing leader in school history, as his 12-yard touchdown run looked to secure the Wildcats first 10-win season since 1977.
Little did we know that a 27-7 lead would soon evaporate in Orlando, as Penn State made a frantic comeback — scoring 17 points in the final quarter — but Snell once again made huge plays down the stretch to lead Kentucky to a 27-24 win over the Nittany Lions in front of 59,167 fans at Camping World Stadium.
