LEXINGTON, Ky – It wasn’t pretty, but the Kentucky Wildcats took care of business in brutal weather conditions at Kroger Field in Lexington, Kentucky Saturday night.

 

After falling behind 7-0 in the first quarter, Kentucky scored 14 unanswered points over the final three quarters to clinch bowl eligibility and keep pace in the eastern division.

 



 

Kentucky’s defense dominated again, led by junior linebacker Kash Daniel with a team high 11 tackles, including two for a loss. However, no play was bigger than his forced fumble in the fourth quarter. Daniel was able to strip the ball loose and allow Quinton Bohanna to recover it.

 

The Kentucky offense capitalized on the turnover, as Benny Snell Jr. scored from 7 yards out with 8:04 remaining in the game.

 

Kentucky fans already know that Daniel is one of the toughest players on the team, in addition to being one of the most vocal. The Paintsville, Kentucky native revealed after the game that he broke his hand, but it will not keep him from playing.
