KENTUCKY
WATCH: Benny Snell receives Heisman hype from ESPN 'Around the Horn' panelist
Coverage provided by
SEC fans have known for the last couple of years that Kentucky RB Benny Snell Jr. is the real deal.
After all, he can become one of only a handful of SEC running backs to eclipse 1,000 yards three separate times if he does it this year (which he likely will if he’s healthy).
Already this season, he’s put up 300 yards and two touchdowns on 47 carries, leading Kentucky to a 2-0 record. On Wednesday’s edition of “Around the Horn” on ESPN, panelist Clinton Yates gave Snell some Heisman love, as you can see below:

Snell will have his work cut out for him if he wants to even earn an invitation to New York City for the Heisman ceremony, but with national media starting to pay attention, it’s a great sign.
Now, he’ll just have to keep leading the Wildcats to victories and the accolades should come.
Benny for Heisman!
If he were to have say, 1300 yards on 19 TDs- how many games would UK have to win for Snell to make it to the top 3?
Louisville only won 9 games when Jackson won it, but he had a big coming out party against then top 5 Florida State. So 8 or so wins but he would also have to have a huge game against a big time opponent with a win
Yes, I agree. A good start would be having a solid outing against MSU next weekend. If Snell is able to lead Kentucky to a win with at least 100 yards rushing and a score, let the real hype train begin.
Bennie Snell is the great value brand of Kylin Hill. Kylin has more total yards with 5 TD’s with 20 less attempts. MSU will wax this team.
