JACKSONVILLE, Fla. A.J. Rose ran for a career-high 148 yards, Chris Rodriguez added 84 yards and two scores and Kentucky held off No. 24 North Carolina State 23-21 in a chippy TaxSlayer Gator Bowl on Saturday.
Christopher Dunn missed two field goals for the Wolfpack (8-4), who trailed 16-14 late when Bailey Hockman threw his third interception of the game. Rodriguez scored on the ensuing play, going nearly untouched for 26 yards.
“It was extremely emotional, even walking into the locker room we were saying, ‘That was for (Oats), that was for Schlarman,’” said linebacker Jamin Davis, who finished with 13 tackles and an interception.
“It’s definitely something to show to the younger guys that we just keep playing through all the adversity, whatever’s going on around us, all the outside noise,” Davis added. “Just block it out. … We’ve got to keep going regardless.”

One year after a city watch dog called out the NYPD for inadequate investigations into biased policing, the department has substantiated its very first complaint it received from the public. But the substantiated complaint is not against a police officer. It’s against a school safety agent.
According to the NYPD, the safety agent stopped a Brooklyn high school student wearing “clothing associated with the Muslim faith” and made a comment to the student that ISIS should be notified. Police officials said it is in the process of seeking discipline against the safety agent for profiling on the basis of race and religion.
