Kentucky survives Vanderbilt 20-13 behind strong ground game

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Kentucky focused more on the outcome than the aesthetics against Vanderbilt, taking the most pride in the clutch plays that made it happen. Stephen Johnson rushed for a touchdown and converted a big fourth-and-1 play late in the game leading to Austin MacGinnis ' 28-yard field goal, and the Wildcats' defense stifled the Commodores late to survive with a 20-13 victory on Saturday. Needing a spark to slow Vanderbilt's momentum after scoring 10 straight points, the Wildcats turned to their ground game led by Benny Snell Jr. (20 carries, 94 yards) and Jojo Kemp with just under 8 minutes remaining. The duo positioned Kentucky to cash in a third and final time on fourth down as Johnson stretched for 1 yard to the Commodores' 19. "Our main motto has just been finishing and we did a great job," Kemp said.
