Lynn Bowden Jr. outplayed Virginia Tech all day with his feet. Then he closed them out with his arm."Ya'll said I couldn't throw, so over the top it goes," Bowden joked after the game.CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Lynn Bowden Jr. outplayed Virginia Tech all day with his feet."Ya'll said I couldn't throw, so over the top it goes," Bowden joked after the game.
Bowden, who took over as Kentucky's quarterback after five games because of injuries, passed for 73 yards on 12 attempts. His rushing day was the biggest in a bowl game since Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel ran for 219 yards vs. Oklahoma in 2013. "It's a lot of emotion," Bowden said."I could have hurt my team and not been out there with them, so I apologized to my program, my teammates. . We respect Virginia Tech, and if I could go back, I wouldn't do it. But it's in the past."
Hendon Hooker threw for 110 yards and two touchdowns and Deshawn McClease ran for 126 yards and a score to lead the Hokies . "He's dynamic with the ball in his hands but throwing the ball, that should have been to our advantage when all was said and done," said Virginia Tech's long-time defensive coordinator Bud Foster, who ended his coaching career with a loss.
