LEXINGTON —The second-team running back sees holes before they develop. He has elite vision and an explosive burst.
And Chris Rodriguez probably won’t be Kentucky football’s second-team running back for long.

“We were like, ‘We got the best two-huddle running back in the country right now,’” quarterback Will Levis said Saturday night.
