Bulldogs’ defense uses criticism, Snell hype to shine in win over Wildcats

On Kentucky’s opening drive, it tried to exploit Georgia’s defensive weakness — the much-criticized run defense — and use its coveted running Benny Snell to convert on a 3rd-and-6.

But Jonathan Ledbetter wasn’t having it and Snell was stuffed for no gain.

Quickly, that became a pattern. Kentucky tried, tried and tried again to use Snell. Georgia, on the other hand, probably said “nice try, but not today” … again, again and again.

So Ledbetter, who carried a calm demeanor when answering questions from the media but said he “had a fire inside,” was asked about Kentucky’s run game.
