1. Benny Snell is the star of the show in this one.

While the Kentucky defense is stingy, the Missouri defense has been the direct opposite. They gave up over 30 points to the likes of Memphis. Sure, Missouri’s biggest struggle has been with big plays downfield and that isn’t exactly what Kentucky is known for. However, I don’t see the Missouri defense being able to stop the run, able to stop the likes of Benny Snell and company.

Benny Snell proclaimed himself as the best of the best as far as running backs are concerned. He was able to show that against Florida and even though he was shut down against the likes of Texas A&M, no one should count him out just yet.

Snell is a talented young man who has the ability to really hit holes when he gets going. Opposing defenses have nightmares about this kid and it is to be expected. Can he do the same against a spotty Missouri defensive front? Will he be able to get back to when he was the talk of the town at the start of the season?

My bold prediction? Benny Snell grabs two touchdowns in a Wildcat victory that truly may not even be close by the time the clock hits zero.
