Given more than simple wildcat duties, Bowden busted big plays with his legs and made all of the throws Kentucky needed to put the Razorbacks’ defense on their heels. He complete 7-of-11 passes for 78 yards and an incredible back-shoulder fade to Clevan Thomas in the end zone. Bowden carried the ball 24 times for 196 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
Most importantly, Bowden kept the boat afloat even after Kentucky fell behind early. A Rakeem Boyd 75-yard touchdown on the second play of the game helped the Razorbacks jump out to a 13-0 lead before UK responded.
