Coming off a 22-19 loss in Oxford against then No. 14 Ole Miss, Kentucky seeks to rebound at home against South Carolina.
The loss was the first of the season for the Wildcats, seeing the team go from No. 7 down to No. 13 in the AP Poll, but it was far from the typical straightforward loss that is so prevalent in college football.
No, Kentucky was not simply outclassed by Ole Miss in Rebel territory. In fact, Kentucky had multiple chances to win, and arguably should have easily defeated the Rebels to remain undefeated.
It would be a lie to say that the game against Ole Miss was the first time the Cats had displayed this tendency to shoot itself in the foot, and if patterns are to be followed, it likely won’t be the last time.
