In a game that would’ve kept the Wildcats from a three-game losing streak and an overall losing record after five games, Kentucky almost looked worse tonight than they did last weekend against Mississippi State.
The defense was sluggish from the first snap and the Gamecocks had the offenses number all night long. South Carolina ran the ball down the Wildcats throat the entire game. The Gamecocks drove down the field and ran it in for an opening drive touchdown and scored again in one play to start the second half after a Wildcat turnover.
Ryan Hilinski had a good game, but their run game dominated as both Tavien Feaster and Rico Dowdle rushed for 100+ yards and finished with three touchdowns combined.
