Former Virginia Tech transfer Tayvion Robinson entered the season as the clear No. 3 option for Kentucky’s passing game. However, Robinson has quickly become a top option for NC State transfer quarterback Devin Leary. In a game where Kentucky desperately needed a lift, the super senior responded to put together one of his best performances since arriving in Lexington.
Trailing 7-0 with under a minute left until halftime, a huge 36-yard punt return set up Kentucky just outside of the red zone. Liam Coen‘s offense lifted the shutout lid on the first play of the possession.
