In a matchup of a terrible defense (Kentucky) vs. a terrible offense (South Carolina), it’s hard to know what to expect from tomorrow’s game. That uncertainty is reflected in the spread, which opened as a pick’em and now has Kentucky favored by 2.5. What’s the national media saying about the matchup? I’m glad you asked.
CBS Sports’ Chip Patterson: South Carolina
South Carolina (+2.5) at Kentucky: It’s not exactly a schedule-clearing showdown, but Gamecocks-Wildcats packs a ton of punch for two fan bases hoping their team can scrape together six wins on the schedule. It’s been a one-score game each of the last three years and Kentucky has won the last two meetings.
