Kentucky’s running back success in recent years is worth appreciating

As another Kentucky Wildcats season is coming to a close and some uncertainty about who will play in the bowl game, it’s worth noting something that has been obvious to fans, but is truly impressive when you think about it.

Kentucky’s recent success with running backs is worth appreciating.

As senior Chris Rodriguez’s career comes to an end, Rodriguez sits at third on the all-time rushing list with 3,643 career rushing yards, only 230 yards away from passing his predecessor Benny Snell for the program record.

Think about that for a second. Kentucky’s last two featured running backs have the opportunity to be the school’s top two all-time leading rushers.
