It seems only fitting that Kentucky’s Lynn Bowden wears the No. 1 across his chest as the junior playmaker rushed for 284 yards, the most ever by an SEC quarterback, to lead the Wildcats to a 45-13 win over rival Louisville on a cold and wet Saturday at Kroger Field.
Bowden, the favorite to win the Paul Hornung Award as the nation’s most versatile player, also scored four touchdowns and led the Cats to several single-season school records on Saturday, including most rushing yards in a game (517), season (3,293) and rushing touchdowns (33). Bowden has now ran for 1,235 yards in seven games and moves to sixth all-time for the best single-season rushing total in school history.
