Finishing drives can separate the winners from losers in college football. When a possession crosses the defense’s 40-yard line, the team that maximizes scoring opportunities will likely win the game.
South Carolina scored 17 points in four scoring opportunities. Kentucky scored 14 points in four scoring opportunities. Add in that three of Kentucky’s turnovers occurred on South Carolina’s side of the field, and it’s easy to see why Shane Beamer‘s team left Williams-Brice Stadium victorious in Week 12.
Bad interception
Trailing 10-7, Kentucky got the ball back at their own 30 with 9:26 left in the second quarter and put together one of their best drives of the game.
