Despite the absence of star transfer DeaMonte “Chip” Trayanum, Kentucky football’s running game still appeared strong in a 31-0 win over Southern Miss on Saturday.
The Wildcats, as a unit, rushed for 148 yards on 24 attempts, logging a touchdown and an average of 6.2 yards per carry.
Fans went into the game expecting to see a running-back-by-committee, a new thing for the Wildcat faithful that have grown accustomed to three consecutive 1,000-yard rushers and bonafide NFL draftees in Benny Snell Jr.
