Defense dominates in double-digit win over South Carolina

This week South Carolina became a trendy pick to come into Kroger Field and defeat Kentucky. There was some heavy betting traffic coming down on the Gamecocks beginning on Thursday causing them to quickly become 2.5 point favorites. Boy, was that a miscalculation.

In their first game in the top 25 under Mark Stoops, the Wildcats pulled off another double-digit win resulting in a 3-0 SEC mark and a 5-0 overall record. UK was the better and more experienced team and they played like it on Saturday night. For the fifth season in a row, Kentucky knocked off the Gamecocks and have held Will Muschamp’s offenses to 13 points or less in the last three meetings.
