Snell, Layne embrace rookie grind

Benny Snell wasn't just good at Kentucky.

He was the best Wildcat rusher of all time.

Snell posted 3,873 yards on the ground during his time at Kentucky, 38 more yards than second-place Sonny Collins. Oh, and Snell did it in three years vs. Collins' four. No big.

He also tops the Kentucky record books in career rushing touchdowns (48 vs. Collins' second-place mark of 26) and rushing touchdowns in a season, where his three years rank tied for fourth (13), third (16) and first (19). Those 48 touchdowns through three seasons are the second-most in college history, trailing only Georgia's Herschel Walker.
