Kentucky OL gives Oscar-worthy performance to draw penalty against Mississippi State

Tashawn Manning gave an Oscar-worthy performance late in Kentucky’s win over Mississippi State as the offensive lineman collapsed like a bag of potatoes to draw a penalty as the Cats closed out the win.
Manning’s collapse drew sarcastic commentary from Jordan Rodgers on the SEC Network: “Young children at home, shield their eyes. You don’t want to see this kind of violence.”
Kentucky won 27-17 as the Wildcats overcame 2 turnovers, and piled up 478 yards, including 197 yards and 2 touchdowns from Chris Rodriguez.
Kentucky shook off last week’s loss to South Carolina, and re-established itself behind the foundation that Mark Stoops has built over the last decade behind the Big Blue Wall.
The Cats outscored the Bulldogs 24-14 in the second half, as Rodriguez scored both of his touchdowns in the fourth quarter, and the second one helped recover the momentum after a pick-6 by State.
