Vanderbilt stuns Kentucky to end 26-game SEC losing streak

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- , Mike Wright ran 59 yards for a touchdown and completed an 8-yard touchdown pass to Will Sheppard with 32 seconds left for a 24-21 win over Kentucky Saturday, snapping a 26-game Southeastern Conference losing streak. Wright was named the Commodores’ starting quarterback to start the season but was benched following a 45-25 loss to Wake Forest September 10, Freshman AJ Swann started the last six games but was ruled out against Kentucky due to an injury. “You got a bunch of guys that are fighting," Vanderbilt coach Clark Lea said. "We’re building a program, and building a program’s hard. It takes people that are aligned, doing the right things the right way. And that’s what these guys are doing. I’m glad they got rewarded today.” Wright ran for 126 yards and a touchdown, and threw for 184 yards and another touchdown.
