While things were dicey for three quarters, Kentucky finished the game on a 31-3 run en route to a 38-24 victory. Seemingly every position stopped up and had some big moments, whether it be the rebuilding secondary or newfound passing game that looks vastly improved thanks to receivers not named Bowden stepping up.
But perhaps the best story of the day was Joshua Paschal. After melanoma on his foot cost him must of the season, he did return to play two games but looked like a shell of the guy he was as a true freshman: A rising star bound for big things at Kentucky.
