For Kentucky, they’ll be down in the running back room without Trayanum and potentially Wilcox. During Week 1, they turned to senior Demie Sumo-Karngbaye for the bulk of their carries. He tallied eight carries for 59 yards and a touchdown before the Wildcats’ game was ended early due to weather. Their offense totaled 317 yards before lightning struck.

Defensively, the Wildcats won’t be at full strength along the defensive line, as three members of the UK lineup have already been ruled out with another listed as probable.

South Carolina, on the other hand, is only dealing with a few injuries compared to their SEC counterpart. Offensive lineman Jakai Moore and defensive back Emory Floyd have already been ruled out, but the rest of the report has yet to be finalized.

In Week 1, the Gamecocks eeked past Old Dominion 23-19 behind quarterback LaNorris Sellers’ dual-threat performance. Last season, Sellers saw limited action during a 17-14 win over the Wildcats.

South Carolina has won the last two meetings between the two programs after Kentucky went on a streak of winning seven of eight matchups in the series between 2014 and 2021.

Kentucky will look to take that win back when both teams do battle from inside Kroger Field this weekend. Kickoff in both team’s SEC opener is set for 3:30 p.m. ET and will air live on ABC and ESPN+.
