Wildcats Visit No. 25 Gamecocks for First SEC Road Trip

Kentucky plays its 1st conference road game against the No. 25 South Carolina, marking the third consecutive week the Wildcats will battle a top-25 team. Last week UK fell 38-20 to No. 3 Alabama while USC topped South Carolina State 38-14 in Columbia. The Cats are looking to break a 9-game Gamecock win streak in the series, with 6 of those games decided by 7 points or less.
Last time out against Alabama, UK tailback Derrick Locke became the 31st player in Kentucky history to reach 1,000 rushing yards in his career after gaining a season-high 75 yards on 20 carries. Locke now boasts 1,068 career rushing yards and ranks 27th on UK’s all-time rushing list.
Placekicker Lones Seiber achieved two milestones against the Tide, kicking a pair of career-long 49-yard field goals to set the new all-time scoring record at UK of 254 points.
On defense, linebacker Danny Trevathan doubled his previous career high for tackles in a game, taking down 10 Alabama ballcarriers. Micah Johnson also posted 10 stops from his linebacker slot to up his total to 215 career tackles. The SEC Rocks!
