UK's Rushing Game is Off to a Great Start

They haven't actually rushed for 1,540 yards in a half, but ESPN was on to something. The Cats cruised to 142 yards on 27 carries (5.3 yards per carry) for 2 touchdowns in the first two quarters against Vanderbilt. Stephen Johnson has been the greatest surprise, keeping drives alive with his legs with 42 yards on 7 carries. Boom Williams leads the team with 46 yards, but this run from Benny Snell is probably the most impressive thing we saw all half.

Benny Snell will NOT go down. Period. #BBN pic.twitter.com/x53hW9pnj6
