What’s holding back Kentucky’s offense? It’s complicated.
After Kentucky gashed Mississippi State for 300 yards, including 229 yards on the ground, Cats star Benny Snell was asked what it meant to “out-physical a physical team” like the Bulldogs.
The junior running back paused for a second to explain how physical UK wants to be.
“We run it down their throat over and over and over and over and over again until they’re tired and can’t take it,” said Snell, who ran for 165 yards and four touchdowns in that victory.
“That’s one thing this offense is good at. We’re able to keep running and keep pounding.”
It definitely looked that way for the Cats near the end of September. After five games, UK was unbeaten and on its way to a high ranking.
