And start talking about him as one of the best players ever. Kid is just amazing and a joy to watch.
It’s time we stop talking about CRod as the best RB in UK history

Benny is overrated. CRod is underrated.
Maybe I'm a habitual worrier, but who do we get to replace him or Levis next year? We have no one on the roster that can break tackles like C Rod.
All-time yardage and touchdown leader, isn't he? Hard to overate that.
The numbers say otherwise
Was really disappointed in C-Rod tonight . I wanted him to get 200 yards tonight. 
May be the best back in the SEC right now. Hope he stays healthy and continues to play like he did tonight.

I was making the Rodriguez > Snell argument during the offseason. I'd have to dig for the link, but it wasn't a popular argument lol. Rodriguez has been more productive than Snell, and also hasn't fumbled as much as many think. Rodriguez 9 career fumbles (6 last year) and Snell had 6 career fumbles.
But this year...with an OL that is worse than any Snell had...? I think it's even clearer that Snell is the T-800 and Rodriguez is the T-1000. Which is funny because his freshman year Chris was called "Baby Benny".

The production numbers lean towards Rodriguez:
Snell avg yards per carry: 2016 - 5.9yds; 2017 - 5.1yds; 2018 - 5yds. That's 5.3yds for his career.
Rodriguez avg yards per carry: 2019 - 7.5yds; 2020 - 6.6yds; 2021 - 6.1yds; 2022 - 4.8.
For comparing total yards you gotta keep in mind that Rodriguez only got 9 or more carries in three games in 2019. He played in every game but in most he was third string 0 - 6 carries. Also, 2020 was the COVID year when only 10 games were played and against all-SEC comp so couldn't pad his stats vs MAC teams. And, he was suspended for four games this season.
Snell had 737 carries in his career. Rodriguez only has 458 carries. Even assuming Chris gets averages 20 carries per game for the next five games he'd STILL be 180 carries short of Snell. The fact he's even threatening his all-time rushing record given that should say something.

You crazy Benny was the shiz. Doesn’t mean C-Rod isn’t as good but he’s not over rated.
I didn't get to watch the entire game last night and not sure about this....has CRod fumbled this year? He's doing great and very impressive breaking tackles.
Bama’s back is nasty tho too.Was really disappointed in C-Rod tonight . I wanted him to get 200 yards tonight.
Benny had 3873 yards 48 freaking TDs is insanely good. 5.4 yards a carry on 737 rushes
Crod 3134 yards 30 TDs on 418 rushes but rhe 6.4 yards a carry is insanely good …especially for a kid who doesn’t break huge runs
My take away is Crod is 2nd best Rb behind Benny. I hope her gets rushes to surpass Mo Williams and Sonny Collins. It was sort of silly to watching AJ Rose take so many rushes from Crod his first two years. Benny TDs is nearly impossible to comprehend but he also carried the program with his attitude and we had some crap defenses that he carried Uk to winning
But it’s been a joy to watch both at Uk in Stoops era

Yeah. He has looked good the times I've watched them.
Gibbs is like a clone of Alvin Kamara
First play of the Carolina game was a CRod fumble. Although in most fans' eyes more of a Scangarello fumble.
Yeah, I guess that was officially on CRod. But, I took it as a miss call, miss play, miss block, miss read, and bad decision.
He turns a loss into a gain, a 1-2 yd gain into a 5-6 yd gain and a 5 yd gain into a 10 yd gain. He often times never actually goes down while the whistle blows for those guys to let him go.
He needs 700 yds in at least 6 games to break Benny’s UK record. I for one wont put it past him to do just that!

Which one? 😂. Jace McClellan was looking pretty dang good yesterday
there was no Big Blue Wall w Alfred.
There was no anything besides him. He literally could have went anywhere and been all world but chose his home state
We just played the best RB in the SEC yesterday. CRod isn’t even close to that. GBO 🍊Was really disappointed in C-Rod tonight . I wanted him to get 200 yards tonight.
Keep talking crap……
You will play a real defense, with a real DC coming off 2 weeks to rest and prepare for you. UK is only allowing 16 ppg and the pick six last night shouldn't count against them but it does or it would be just 15 ppg. (That’s including playing 3 top 16 teams (at gametime) along the way. We dont have Georgia’s cakewalk schedule (to this point). Dont look past UK thinking about your date at UGA or you will lose.

We put up 38 points of offense on you last year in less than 14 minutes of game time in your house. Why would I worry about your defense when your defense hasn’t stopped us?
Pinner. I loved watching him run. Very underrated
Lol I love that you have Kentucky-tinted glasses on, but no he isn’t. Gibbs would be starting for KY rn over CRod.
One of them is the sec’s returning leading rusher. Also one of them doesn’t have bama talent surrounding him. You’re wrong. You’re here today looking for validation. Nothing more.
don’t talk to me about tinted glasses.
Cry about it. Gibbs is the best RB in the SEC. C Rod could have all the talent in the world surrounding him. He still wouldn’t be better than Gibbs.
You won the game. Does that not feel good enough? You have swing on bamas nuts some more to squeeze out a little more validation?
Crod is better. It must kill you.
And Raffy Little. Neither were on the same level of C Rod or Benny but those guys were awesome.
Keep underestimating the Greatest RB in UK history. Oh and we got a potential #1 pick at QB. Get ready for hell in 2 weeks!!!
We beat the reigning best QB in college football just yesterday, and he’s lightyears ahead of Levis. There is nothing about Levis that concerns me whatsoever.
