Kentucky RB Chris Rodriguez Has Return Date Announced

Chris Rodriguez Makes The Kentucky Offense Dangerous

Now comes the real challenge for opposing teams, which is figuring out a way to stop both Levis and Rodriquez out of the backfield. Last season, Rodriquez rushed for 1,378 yards and 10 touchdowns, while adding another 3 through the air. How opposing teams decide to defend both of these playmakers will be difficult, especially after what we saw this past weekend in Gainesville and last year. Kentucky held Gators QB Anthony Richardson to just four yards rushing and 122 yards through the air, including a pick-six. Mark Stoops also passed Bear Bryant for all-time wins at Kentucky, after defeating the Gators. We'll see what type of shape Rodriquez is in when he returns for Ole Miss, but I have zero doubts that he will accelerate this offense. Now we'll get to see how offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello uses all his weapons out of the backfield. Watch out, Kentucky's bruiser is returning.
