Running back Benny Snell is eager to edge into the top 10 after a 169-yard game and go-ahead touchdown against Vanderbilt. “Our time is starting to come,” he said. “But we have to have that mentality. We’re still hungry.”

The last time Kentucky was a top-10 team (they were ranked No. 8) was on Oct. 14, 2007.
