LOOK: Benny Snell’s ridiculous 52-yard touchdown run frame-by-frame

Little did we know, Snell was actually dealing with a viral infection, high temperature, and went to the hospital for fluids yesterday morning.

After the game, Mark Stoops said, “He had a virus last night. He had a temperature and a viral infection. Jim (Madeleno, the team doctor) thought it would be okay overnight — we were watching him — but he woke up and wasn’t feeling great, so they took him to the hospital and gave him a bag of fluids and checked him out.”

Despite the illness, Snell still managed 125 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries to lead the Cats to victory.
