In a game that felt more like two completely separate halves, the Kentucky Wildcats emerged the 26-22 victors over the South Carolina Gamecocks in Columbia, South Carolina, earning their first SEC road win since 2009.
The Wildcats offense, which showed up for the first half and the final drive of the second, was led by the ever-present quarterback Patrick Towles and running back Boom Williams, who combined for 299 yards and no scores on the night. South Carolina, on the other hand, struggled under starting QB Connor Mitch before his injury forced backup Perry Orth under center, who excelled and led the comeback.
