Kentucky coach Mark Stoops expects Benny Snell to keep using doubters as motivation in the NFL. Jon Hale, Louisville Courier Journal
Benny Snell Jr. made his first start for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he made it count.
The former Kentucky star nearly reached the century mark on the ground, posting 98 yards rushing on 21 carries. He added a catch for five yards for 103 all-purpose yards Sunday.
The Steelers' 16-10 win over the Cincinnati Bengals was Snell's breakout opportunity. Seventy-five percent of his career carries came in the game, and all but 20 of his 118 yards were accounted for.
