SOUTH CAROLINA NEEDS TO WIN OUT

With two games to play, South Carolina has to win out to reach the six-win threshold for bowl eligibility. The Gamecocks already won back-to-back games against Jacksonville State and Vanderbilt. Now they need to beat Kentucky and then Clemson to reach bowl eligibility.

TWO RUNNING BACKS

With injuries to two of South Carolina’s running backs, Shane Beamer may be down to only two scholarship players behind Spencer Rattler in the backfield.

Kentucky has held seven of its last 11 opponents to under 100 yards rushing.
