Benny Snell accomplishes what no other true freshman at UK has since 2000

Man, it’s nice to be able to reflect on a win, isn’t it? As I look back on my favorite parts of Saturday’s victory, I keep coming back to Benny Snell. The freshman running back had a game-high 16 carries for 73 yards and a touchdown vs. South Carolina. Almost all of those yards came on a touchdown drive at the start of the fourth quarter when Snell carried the ball on nine of the eleven possessions and ran it in out of the Wildcat formation for the score.

Saturday’s was just the latest impressive performance for Snell, who has 33 carries for 209 yards and five touchdowns over the last two games for an average of 6.
