LEXINGTON - Starting at quarterback for the first time in college, wide receiver Lynn Bowden led Kentucky to a 24-20 win over Arkansas to snap a three-game losing streak.

On the night UK honored legendary quarterback Jared Lorenzen, Bowden amassed 274 yards of offense and three touchdowns. He scored the game-winning touchdown with 6:53 remaining.

Arkansas jumped out to an early lead with a 74-yard touchdown run from Rakeem Boyd on the second play from scrimmage then added two first-half field goals for a 13-0 lead before Bowden and the Kentucky offense found its rhythm.
