Which teams has Kentucky played the last few years with 4/5 stars on defense?

Benny Snell averaged 3.63 YPC vs AP Top 25 teams in 2017

Damien Harris averaged 5.65 YPC vs AP Top 25 teams in 2017


Benny Snell averaged 4.59 YPC vs FBS winning teams in 2017

Damien Harris averaged 6.28 YPC vs FBS winning teams in 2017


But yeah, sure

Stupid is the nicest word to describe your logic. You put a lot of stock in stars, yet ignore that Harris was more highly regarded than Snell.

You honestly think if Harris was on UK, that Snell would start ahead of him?

What do you think "stars" are....other than someone's idea of "highly regarded".

You should proof read for content.....

- Snell is better because Harris runs behind a line of 5-stars

- Stars are just what other people think

- Harris averaging 2 YPC more a game vs "4 and 5 star" defenses shows Snell is better



This is fantastic stuff

It's a way for Kentucky fans to create hypotheticals for why their favorite player isn't highly regarded

Hmmmm

Good chance they will be for you

How many times in the last two years has Kentucky played a team with equal or lesser talent?

He wants to talk about Snell going against 4/5 star defenses but admits it only happened twice. I guess he is only counting his numbers in those games.

Shame on me...

You are the one that wants to use stars when referencing him going against 4/5 star defenses

Your entire premise is based off of the idea that Harris' numbers are inflated because he runs behind an O-line with superior talent to Snell's. And the basis for that conclusion, per you, was that they were "5-stars".

So you tell us.
