South Carolina has opportunities on several fronts heading into Saturday’s game against Kentucky.
The most important of those is the Gamecocks can improve to 3-0, which would be their best start since the 2012 season in which they went on to start 6-0 and finish 11-2.
In order to do that, South Carolina must snap a three-game losing streak to the Wildcats, its longest losing streak against any division opponent.
In order to do that, the Gamecocks will have to continue burying the two narratives that defined their 2015 season, namely that they can’t run the ball or stop the run.
