Mike Leach was very impressed with Chris Rodriguez and UK ground game

The Kentucky Wildcats offense found some rhythm in the second half of Saturday’s win over the Mississippi State Bulldogs. A big reason for that success, was the play of Chris Rodriguez.

After missing the first four games of the season, Kentucky’s star running-back found his footing in this new offensive scheme, and Rich Scangarello finally saw what Rodriguez is capable of.

After putting up 197 yards and two touchdowns on 31 carries, Mike Leach gave some high praise for Rodriguez in his post-game press conference.

“That running back just pounded us,” Leach said postgame.
