One Kentucky football player in position to rewrite the record books | Lexington Herald Leader

Random notes:

u25aa Benny Snell is running toward history. The sophomore needs 279 yards to become the first Kentucky running back to rush for 1,000 yards in back-to-back seasons.

UK’s individual football records go back to 1946 and in that time the Cats have never had a 1,000-yard rusher in consecutive seasons.

The great Sonny Collins was the closest. The flashy former Madisonville star rushed for 1,213 yards as a sophomore in 1973, but a broken leg his junior season limited him to 970 yards. Collins returned as a senior in 1975 to rush for 1,150 yards.
