Twitter reaction to Kentucky’s obliteration of Mississippi State

Herald-Leader Staff Report

Updated September 23, 2018 12:26 AM

Kentucky’s 28-7 victory over 14th-ranked Mississippi State at Kroger Field on Saturday night was impressive in its degree of difficulty but stunning in its grinding and gradual obliteration.

Fans, national media, former players and more reacted swiftly and favorably to Kentucky’s 4-0 start, which was keyed Saturday night by running back Benny Snell’s 165 yards rushing and four touchdowns.

We need our top 25 ranking by Monday!!

More Snellfies taken and autographs given than touchdowns scored tonight for @benny_snell, and that’s saying something. #WeAreUK #SnellYeah pic.twitter.com/pmV1CpGLc3
