There is no player on the Kentucky roster more excited for the first snaps of a new season than Benny Snell.
“They tried to take me away for a little bit,” the junior running back said last week during UK’s turn at Southeastern Conference Media Days in Atlanta. “But I’m gonna come back stronger, harder and I’m way smarter than I was last year.”
In all of his years of playing football, Snell had never been tossed from a game. So when official Chris Coyte threw the unsportsmanlike conduct flag that ended the UK running back’s Music City Bowl game, Snell was in shock.
