Horton transferring, but Boom & Benny solid 1, 2 punch

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – Mikel Horton is leaving UK Solid Blue fans and it’s no doubt a direct result of the rise of freshman Benny Snell.

Snell was the toast of the town following the win over New Mexico State.

Once again, Snell was the star in the eyes of many Solid Blue fans for his performance in the victory over South Carolina.

Snell rushed for 73 yards on 16 carries and a touchdown.  Boom Williams has really morphed into the setup guy for Snell this season.

Boom’s batters one through three right now for the Cats…rushing for 123 yards and a TD in the 17-10 win last weekend.

Boom is also becoming a more mature player and that’s what has Mark Stoops excited.  It’s not just Boom being all about Boom anymore.
