Kentucky has now lost its fourth straight game to Shane Beamer and the South Carolina Gamecocks. The infamous sunglasses remark continues to haunt Mark Stoops, as his team is winless against the Gamecocks since he made it, having been outscored by a staggering 107-47 margin over those four losses. And Stoops bye week blues continue as the Cats fall to 6-11 after a bye week under Mark.
It's a disastrous stretch against a divisional opponent Kentucky must beat to succeed. As ESPN noted during the broadcast, the loser of this particular game misses a bowl game nearly 50% of the time.
