Lynn Bowden’s Message to BBN after his Final Game

A legendary career came to a close in the Belk Bowl, as Lynn Bowden Jr. walked off the field for the final time in Kentucky blue.

Bowden rushed for 233-yards, the most ever by a quarterback in a bowl game. For the season, the junior totaled 1,468 rushing yards, the second best season total in Kentucky history.

Bowden will be remembered as one of the best to ever play at Kentucky. He walked off the field for the final time yesterday but not before thanking every Kentucky fan he could find.

Following the game, Bowden shared a message about his time in Lexington.
