BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Dec. 1 (UPI) -- Antwaan Randle El passed for two touchdowns in his final college appearace Saturday to lead Indiana past the Kentucky Wildcats, 26-15.
Earlier this year, Randle El became the NCAA's all-time Division I-A rushing leader among quarterbacks, but he was shut out of a bowl appearance as the Hoosiers finished with four losing seasons during his career.
One of only three quarterbacks in NCAA history to pass for more than 5,000 yards and run for more than 2,500, Randle gained 43 yards on 15 carries Saturday to end his career with 3,895.
He tossed touchdown passes of 30 yards to Kris Dielman and 19 yards to Courtney Roby in the second quarter to give the Hoosiers (5-6) a 19-7 halftime lead.
After a scoreless third period, Indiana took a 26-7 lead on Jeremi Johnson's 27-yard run 32 seconds into the final period.
Kentucky (2-9) made it close on Jared Lorenzen's seven-yard toss to Aaron Boone with 4:07 remaining.
Randle El had a quiet game statistically, completing 15 of 31 passes for 193 yards. Johnson paced the Hoosiers on the ground with 97 yards on 17 attempts.
Lorenzen completed 26 of 47 passes for 324 yards for the Wildcats, his fifth straight game over 300 yards since regaining the starting job.
Kentucky opened the scoring when Derek Abney recovered a fumble in the end zone with 6:32 to go in the first period. Indiana tied it 3 1/2 minutes later on Johnson's one-yard run.
The Hoosiers snapped a six-game losing streak to Kentucky and increased their lead in the all-time series to 17-14-1.
