LOOK: Lynn Bowden finds Josh Ali for the game-winning touchdown in the Belk Bowl
Down 30-24 midway through the fourth quarter, Lynn Bowden Jr. and the Kentucky offense found a way to milk the clock down eight minutes and put itself in position for a last-ditch touchdown effort to put the Cats on top.
85 yards away from the end zone, the Wildcats put together a 19-play drive featuring five first downs, one third down conversion, and two fourth down conversions.
On the final play from 13 yards out, Bowden found Josh Ali streaking toward the back of the end zone for an open touchdown, ultimately putting the Wildcats on top 31-30.

With one final stop to make on defense, Kentucky forced a fumble leading to a 28-yard scoop-and-score by Jordan Wright.
Roush was also in position on the field for the final play and the immediate reaction from the Kentucky sideline.

Great, great win!
Jack, when it’s a video, the headline should read “WATCH”… “LOOK” is for still videos aka photos
These are the kind of games we always lost in years gone past. In many ways this season will be just as memorable as 2018. I’m glad Stoops wanted this job and has persevered the rough years. He may not take UK to the promised land but he has changed the mentality of the program 180 degrees. I salute him for that.
Lynn Bowden is a UK hero for the ages. And the offensive line! Wow!
