What Kentucky's close call over Louisiana-Lafayette tells us about their game against South Carolina on Saturday

The Wildcats had a near miss against a Sun Belt team. Is that an aberration or is it the beginning of a long season?

We almost had ourselves a rare occurrence on Saturday: a Sun Belt team beating an SEC team. And while Louisiana-Lafayette came close against Kentucky, they couldn't finish the job in a 40-33 loss at Commonwealth Stadium. (In case you're wondering, the last SEC team to lose to a Sun Belt opponent? Kentucky, on August 31, 2013 - their season opener - against Western Kentucky.)

The Wildcats are coming to Williams-Brice Stadium as the South Carolina Gamecocks open their 2015 home slate.
