It’s not really worth beating around the bush: To this point in the season, Kentucky has not been good.
Being outgained by a not-that-great Southern Miss team: not good. Needing to stage a rally and get some fortuitous turnovers against FCS Eastern Kentucky: also not good.
Now the Wildcats also looked dreadful early last season and still won one of the ugliest games you’ll see against the Gamecocks with a freshman quarterback in his first road start. But USC looks far less shaky in 2017.
Barring some kind of sudden turn, it’s hard to see where the Wildcats do that much to the Gamecocks.
