Kentucky at South Carolina

It has been quite a story in Lexington. The football team is getting some attention usually reserved for basketball. The Wildcats have gotten off to a 5-0 start, and it is an explosive offense that has set the pace. Andre Woodson has been nearly perfect throwing for 1,309 yards with 13 TDs and just one interception. Tonight they face a team that has absolutely dominated them, and will be bringing the No. 1 ranked pass defense into the mix. Steve Spurrier has never lost to Kentucky in 17 games, and he has the right mindset to stop a competent offense and that is his veteran defense with 10 of 11 starters back from last year and 17 of its 18 top tacklers. That defense has allowed just 106 yards in the air per game. The Gamecocks have won seven straight over UK. Last year, the Kentucky offense did much the same, but even with that they were still out-gained by nearly 80 yards per game. The soft part of the schedule is over now. Last year they opened 3-2 on their way to an eight-win season. The problem was the tougher defenses. They managed 12 points at Tennessee, none at LSU, only seven at Florida and 17 at home against SC. They averaged 35-points per game (PPG) against everyone else. South Carolina has their best team in several years, and playing at home with the nations top pass defense. We will ride them here.
