Following a season-high 180 rushing yards vs. Tennessee, Snell is third in the SEC with 721 rushing yards (90.1 yards per game). If he continues to rush at this rate, he’ll finish the season with 1,081 rushing yards.

The Ole Miss rush defense surrenders 260 rushing yards per game, last in the SEC and No. 127 out of 130 FBS teams. Vanderbilt is only slightly better than Tennessee and Ole Miss, allowing 238 rushing yards per game.
