Yes, Benny Snell was an absolute monster last night against No. 14 Mississippi State. But I think the BBN is in agreement: the defensive performance is what sealed the deal for a Wildcat victory. The defense was strong, efficient and just plain nasty. Here’s how they did it.

Everyone knew Mississippi State’s quarterback, Nick Fitzgerald, was entering the game as a real threat, especially on the ground. He’s known for his ability to cut through an opponent’s defense on a keeper, while Kentucky was (past tense!) known for not always knowing how to handle a dynamic, running quarterback.
