Vanderbilt snaps 26-game SEC losing streak with win over Kentucky

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Vanderbilt snapped a 26-game Southeastern Conference losing streak with a late touchdown drive to send Kentucky to a 24-21 loss.

After Kentucky had taken a fourth-quarter lead on a 72-yard run from Chris Rodriguez, Vanderbilt drove 80 yards on 12 plays to take the lead with 32 seconds remaining on an 8-yard pass from Mike Wright to Will Sheppard. The big play on the drive came when Vanderbilt converted a fourth-and-11 with a 40-yard pass from Wright to Quincy Skinner to reach the Kentucky 9-yard line.

Continuing a worrying trend from a week ago at Missouri, Kentucky reached the Vanderbilt side of the field on each of its four first-half possessions but scored just two field goals.
