The Kentucky running back was starting to get into a rhythm on a cold December evening in Nashville when his night was cut short. An official tried to help Snell up off the turf. When Snell shushed away the official’s hands, he took it personal. A flag was thrown and Benny was ejected after only six carries for 15 yards. More than a year later, he’s still not over it.
“It always sticks with me because one of the records I wanted to break was how many yards I could get in a single season,” Snell told Kentucky Sports Radio.
