Benny Snell is the new rushing king of Kentucky Football, as broke the record

Snell entered the 2018 season needing to rush for 1,412 yards to pass Sonny Collins (3,835 yards from 1972-75) as the school’s all-time leading rusher. A standout regular season left the junior running back just 107 yards shy of the record entering the Citrus Bowl matchup with the Penn State Nittany Lions.

After going for 43 yards on nine carries in the first half, Snell was well within reach of the record as the second half began.
