No more Benny Snell and no more Josh Allen. Their equivalent of losing Marcus Lattimore and JD Clowney. They come back to Earth this year as we did in 2014 and 2015 and the Cocks break the streak in a close one.
Why do we beat KY this year?
- Thread starter vacock#
- Start date
I expect a 15 year USC dominance over kensucky to start back up this year. What's the overall head to head record?
All time the record UK vs SC is 12 - 17 - 1. Which means you have won less than 57% of the time. Far from dominating.
A very interesting website is Winsipedia ( http://www.winsipedia.com/south-carolina/vs/kentucky ). It really goes in depth on each program.
It is kind of creepy how similar the histories of both football programs are.

I get it. Plus, lately the way things have gone it can't be worth spending the extra money.
Against kentucky and vandy it never was worth all the bells and whistles. uga, fla, mizzou, a&m, ut yes.
Well for 2020 rivals has them one spot ahead of us in recruiting we better win this year
That's true but nobody has signed anything for 2020 that could change you know how that goes. Rankings like that bounce all over the place little a red rubber ball we just stopped recruiting and let them over take us for a few years. JMO
The Gamecocks have had a terrible time stopping the run against physical SEC teams of late. That has been largely a depth issue at Dline but some of it is pure and simple lazy play. KY is taught to professionally hold on OL run blocking. That is one area including salty and solid defenses where Stoops has really hurt Spurrier late and Will the last 3 years. A lot of teams abuse the Cocks running the ball lately. My biggest issue with Muschamp right now.
So our plan is to put UK back in their “rightful place.”
Why is it that other schools aren’t entitled to improve their programs, yet we are but a “decent coach” from “consistent” top ten finishes?
We, and UK, are middle of the pack programs. “Consistently.” We’ll cycle some, but we do not tread among the elite. Such is our lot. We have mega company.
One of the axioms that makes participation on “fan” boards an exercise in frustration.
Having said that, let’s get em. Light em up.

UK is the 5th game of the year, following Bama at home and MIzzou away. We then have a bye week before we face UGA. I will know after we play Mizzou. If we are 2-2, coming off a loss to Mizzou, then we are in trouble with UK. If we are 3-1 or 4-0 (won't happen but anything is possible) then momentum will be on our side and I really like our chances.
It depends solely on the battle armor chosen that week!
Let's lose those videos until we beat somebody with a pulse.
I'm sure the one before getting curb stomped by Virginia was awesome.
That’s a yes/no question. If a person says yes, then others might want to know why. So what is your answer to your own yes/no question?
Attempted to see RUPP, however renovations were going on.Missed out on that one.
A trip you have to make is out to Keeneland. That place makes Churchill Downs look like a complete dump. Even if there isn't a meet going on it's open year round for OTB. So, getting look out there is pretty easy.
Kentucky won’t drop much if any on offense. New comers at RB Chris Rodriguez or kavosiey Smoke will compete for playing time. Asim Rose will get the 1 reps. OL will be strong and wide outs as well.
Defensive Secondary is our only serious question. Stoops has developed some players behind josh Allen on the Dline and Kash Daniels with Chris Oats has the LBer core pretty solid. Looking forward to coming to South Carolina for another exciting experience. Beautiful state and nice people.

.... in other words, the blind squirrel will find that nut eventually. Will this be the year????
For everyone's info 1977 10-1 season wasn't KY's best, the 1950 11-1 National Championship team has that honor, which won the Sugar Bowl.
Hope that attitude is reflected by all SC fans, coaches and players. A sure formula for being surprised, again.
I took the liberty of changing your spelling of Kentucky. You say the prognosticators were on Kentucky's side in the past? Preseason, last year, SC was a media darling and a darkhorse in the East. The closest line at kickoff during our streak was last year in Lexington, with SC favored by 1 to 1.5. The other lines in the 5 game streak have had SC a solid favorite, from 5 to 8 points.
Maybe so. But the recruiting rankings since '14 on Rivals show SC at an average class of 19th, and Kentucky at 27th.
You may have fallen behind in player development/retention, but, again, you have led Kentucky in recruiting, generally, according to the "experts." An interesting stat: Kentucky has gotten all of it's signees on campus for four seasons running. Most teams lose one or two players from attrition prior to their initial entry into college. Spurrier lost 5 or 6 from the '14 class who never qualified or, otherwise, never made it to campus.
Well, trailing 24-10, SC mounted an 8 minute (plus) drive, eating most of the 4th quarter, for no points. It was a competitive game, though.
They were good players. The last two seasons, South Carolina has scored 3 TD's against Kentucky, and two of the three were were scored by Deebo Samuel. Our stars played in and won our bowl. How did that tilt with Virginia look w/o Deebo?
All teams lose talent, annually.
Yes, please keep that attitude!

Because our temporary rise above mediocrity is over.
Snell was a mid tier 3 star who was under rated and was coached up.
That is a rare occurrence here.

I was there for a wedding several years ago. You are right, that's an impressive place. The surrounding areas as well.
Huh? The prognosticators pick USC to finish above UK every year. I believe that UK has been a vegas underdog every year during the 5 year winning streak. The occasional dissenter like Herbstreit picks uK, but most people pick USC every year despite the results on the field.
Y'all been to Atlanta? Won 11 games three years in a row? Had a number one draft choice? All recent Gamecock achievements. I give you credit for the past five years, but you are still Kentucky. Surely you realize Spurrier's fade at the end of his career aided and abetted your run. We are moving on now so you will need to step up your game.
