VIDEO: Kentucky's Lynn Bowden Completes Belk Bowl Comeback With TD Pass to Josh Ali in Dying Seconds
By Ian Anderson
The Kentucky Wildcats have done it! This clutch touchdown from Lynn Bowden to Josh Ali gave the Wildcats a 31-30 lead over the Virginia Tech Hokies en route to a 37-30 victory for Kentucky in this year's Belk Bowl. The nail-biting game-winner came with just 15 seconds left in the game.
MONEY. ?

A pretty throw from Bowden right into the arms of a wide open Ali secures second consecutive victory for Kentucky after a 27-24 victory over Penn State in last season's Citrus Bowl.
For the icing on the cake, a VaTech hook-and-lateral play as time expired ended with a fumble returned for a final touchdown by Kentucky's Jordan Wright.

The Hokies, who now wave goodbye to longtime Blacksburg stalwart Bud Foster, lost their third consecutive bowl game. And what a way to do it.
