Benny Snell is the entirety of Kentucky’s offense so far and that isn’t much of a surprise

It’s no real surprise that Kentucky’s Benny Snell is playing well. A season ago, this Mississippi State football team absolutely shut him down. Now, his confidence has translated to the football field and he’s played a great first half against MSU.

Snell has 60 yards and a touchdown 11 carries for the Wildcats.

But, that’s really the extent of Kentucky’s offense at the moment. Terry Wilson has made a few good plays at quarterback, but there’s not a lot happening outside of that. Snell has been solid and MSU will need to find a way to minimize his impact.
