The great Sonny Collins will be the Wildcats’ honorary captain tomorrow when Kentucky hosts Mississippi State in a critical game in Kroger Field.

But first, Collins met Benny Snell after Friday’s practice and it made for a great photo of past and present stars.

Collins currently holds the all-time rushing record at Kentucky with 3,835 yards, but Snell is on his heels. Snell has 2,799 yards to date with nine more games this season. Assuming UK will reach a bowl game, he’ll need 104 yards per game in the remaining 10 games to pass Collins’ longstanding record.
