After Pounding Mississippi State, Kentucky Can't Be Overlooked Anymore

Here’s a crazy piece of information for you: Kentucky appears to be the second best team in the SEC East. Not Florida. Not Tennessee. Not Missouri or South Carolina. Kentucky.

The Wildcats looked the part on Saturday in a 28–7 upset of No. 14 Mississippi State, pounding the Bulldogs at their own game with a physical brand of power running led by record-setting tailback Benny Snell Jr. Snell ran for 165 yards and scored four touchdowns to put a damper on next weekend’s Mullen Bowl, when Florida coach Dan Mullen returns to take on the Mississippi State program he led for nine seasons.
