South Carolina left tackle Malik Young will be healthy enough to play Saturday against Kentucky, but that doesn’t mean he’ll definitely retain his starting job.

“We will determine that this week,” Gamecocks head coach Will Muschamp said Sunday.

Young was called for two holding penalties and gave up one sack in a 31-13 win over Missouri before slightly spraining his ankle and being replaced by junior college transfer Dennis Daley.

“Malik was a little gimpy and Dennis deserved an opportunity,” Muschamp said. Daley “has had a good camp, and he played well the snaps he was in there.
