Kentucky football finished its regular season defeating South Carolina but now more questions loom.

In true Kentucky football fashion, they had visiting South Carolina right where they wanted them Saturday night after a spirited first half full of takeaways, scoring, and excitement.

Then the second half began.

They led 27-3 at the half only to let off the gas and nearly let the Gamecocks garner momentum. However, Christopher Rodriguez’s 79-yard touchdown run gave the 19 seniors a fitting win and sendoff on senior night.
