SEC Nation weighs in on Benny Snell’s Heisman Hopes

The Big Blue Nation has dreamed big dreams since Kentucky’s dominant win over Mississippi State. Winning the SEC East has been the biggest dream, just ahead of Benny Snell hoisting the Heisman Trophy.

The Kentucky running back has become a legitimate contender. Vegas and ESPN believe Snell is one of the five best candidates, but is it possible for him to win it all? Tim Tebow and Marcus Ware don’t think it will happen.
