Kentucky football’s Christopher Rodriguez Jr. galloped and plowed his way through the Missouri defense for 206 yards and two touchdowns and the Southeastern Conference heaped praise on him as the co-offensive player of the week.

He also caught a 5-yard touchdown for his third score of the day in UK’s 35-28 win.

Kentucky has racked up their most yards of total offense through their first 2 games of a season (1,083) since 2013 (1,094).

Rodriguez is the workhorse for the Cats doing the grind on the ground and after two weeks of the season has covered a lot of ground at Kroger Field.
