Just call Chris Rodriguez a mini-Benny.
That’s pretty much how Kentucky star Benny Snell sees the true freshman, who got his first carries in the Cats’ 48-10 win over Murray State on Saturday.
“He reminds me of freshman me,” Snell said of Rodriguez, who got two carries for 43 yards, including one that covered 27 yards and in which he carried several Racers with him.
“He falls forward. He fights for every yard. He never lets just one guy tackle him. ... He’s got that edge about him. He wants to score. I see myself in him so much.
