Kentucky vs. South Carolina — Williams-Brice Stadium in November has been a different beast
Since Shane Beamer arrived, the Gamecocks are 5-1 in November home games with the lone loss coming to a 2021 Clemson team that won 10 games. South Carolina won as an underdog against the likes of Florida, Auburn and Tennessee, and all but 1 of those 5 victories were by double digits. That’s why a 2-6 record heading into November didn’t necessarily mean that the Gamecocks’ bowl hopes were dashed, especially with nothing but 4-loss teams coming to Williams-Brice. Against a Kentucky team that has become Beamer’s top unofficial SEC rival, I’d expect there to be plenty of juice in Columbia on Saturday night.
