Give Benny Snell the Ball

The main difference between power conference teams and other division 1 schools is size and speed. Usually in a game like this, you see the team that’s favored run all over the other team. That’s where Benny Snell comes in.

He’s a bruising back that also has solid downfield speed. He should be able to break tackles and bust a few big runs against Eastern Michigan. If I’m Kentucky, I’m getting him started early. This will get the running game established and open up the passing game as well.

Benny Snell is on a mission this season to prove he can compete with the best backs in college football, and so far, he’s done a great job. Snell has 331 rushing yards and 3 touchdowns through the first 4 games. Expect him to blow up against Eastern Michigan and lead Kentucky to victory.
