Box score and MVP from frustrating loss at home to the Gamecocks

That was one a rough one for the Kentucky Wildcats.

The game started with the South Carolina Gamecocks thwarting a trick play and nearly scoring a defensive touchdown before many fans had even found their seats.

The 7-0 deficit at the end of the first quarter felt much larger in margin than the score reflected.

In the first 15 minutes UK managed to botch a trick play, commit multiple false start penalties, have a punt blocked, and miss a field goal.

If it wasn’t for a consistent effort from Brad White’s defense to stabilize a horrendous start the scoring gap could have easily been two or even three touchdowns.
