South Carolina vs. Kentucky Prediction: Wildcats Look to Bounce Back at Home

Kentucky lost at Ole Miss last weekend. They play South Carolina on Saturday. It's the 34th meeting between the Gamecocks and Wildcats. South Carolin leads the all-time series 18-14-1. Kentucky has won two in a row and seven of the last eight games.

South Carolina plays at No. 13 Kentucky.

South Carolina's last two games have been against Conference USA teams Charlotte and South Carolina State. The Gamecocks' offense has scored 106 points in the last 2 games. Kentucky's defense is stingy and has been especially good against the pass. South Korea lost to Ole Miss last week. Kentucky is fourth in SEC in scoring and total defense. They have managed just six sacks in five games so far.

Kentucky's quarterback, Levis, may not play on Saturday. He has a foot and finger injury. Redshirt freshman Laiya Sheron will get the call. The running game is a big concern for the Wildcats. South Carolina is second to last in stopping the run this season. The Gamecocks surrendered 145 yards on 30 carries to South. Carolina State last Thursday.

Even if Levis can't play, Kentucky will rely on the run this week. South Carolina is 106th in the entire FBS in rushing defense. The Gamecocks can keep this game close, but Kentucky's talent will be too much.
