| The Kentucky Wildcats Look to Beat the South Carolina Gamecocks |
The South Carolina Gamecocks looked to be on track for a return to the SEC Title Game as they won their first four games but it all came crashing down on Steve Spurrier’s team as they fell to Auburn in week five. While South Carolina has some of the most talented players in the nation, they still lack discipline and have made some poor decisions and as the level of competition increases those mistakes end up costing them more. At QB Stephen Garcia simply hasn’t developed into the QB the Gamecocks had hoped as he has completed 51.7 percent of his passes for 844 yards with four touchdowns and nine interceptions. Marcus Lattimore is one of the top running backs in the nation and he has gained 677 yards and scored nine touchdowns on the ground and he has caught 12 passes for 139 yards and a touchdown. Alshon Jeffrey has been hobbled by the poor QB play and his numbers are disappointing with 19 catches for 332 yards and two scores. The South Carolina defense has eight interceptions, eight fumble recoveries, and 13 sacks. Antonio Allen leads the Gamecocks with 49 tackles followed by D.J. Swearinger with 28 and Melvin Ingram and Stephon Gilmore both with 26. In order to compete week after week in the SEC South Carolina is going to need to avoid the mistakes that seem to be a regular part of their games. Joker Phillips and the Kentucky Wildcats have been bowl regulars but unless their level of play increases dramatically in a hurry the string may be ending this year. Kentucky took another big loss last weekend at LSU and while there isn’t a lot of shame in losing to the number one team in the country the Kentucky offense failed to do anything until the outcome of the game was well decided. Morgan Newton has been less than ordinary at QB completing just 50 percent of his passes for 647 yards with six touchdowns and six interceptions while rushing for 133 yards. Josh Clemons leads UK in rushing yards with 269 with two touchdowns while La’Rod King has been the offense with 21 catches for 347 yards and four touchdowns. Kentucky leans heavily on their defense that has seven interceptions, seven sacks, and two fumble recoveries. Danny Trevathan leads the Cats with 59 tackles followed by Winston Guy with 53 and Ronnie Sneed at 37. If the Kentucky offense can’t stay on the field the defense will put up huge tackle numbers which isn’t necessarily a good thing for the overall team record. This looks like a mismatch on paper, but anything can happen when two SEC teams meet on up on a Saturday.
