South Carolina showed up for a black out and left with a black eye.
The Gamecocks requested that their fans come dressed in black for the first home game of the season. The fans showed up. The Gamecocks of the first two games of the season did not, and Kentucky upset South Carolina 23-13 in front of 82,493 in Williams-Brice Stadium.
The Gamecocks fell to 2-1 overall and 1-1 in the SEC as the Wildcats improved to 3-0 overall and 1-0 in the league. Kentucky has now beaten South Carolina in four consecutive seasons.
The last time the Wildcats had beaten an SEC team four years in a row was 2004-2007 when they did it to Vanderbilt.
