Making your first SEC road start is never easy. For Cutter Boley, it was a nightmare.
The freshman QB was sacked six times, including two by Brian Thomas Jr., who dominated Shiyazh Pete off the edge. Even when Kentucky kept tight ends and running backs in to block, it left fewer options in the route, and South Carolina’s secondary shut them down. There was just no real answers for a Kentucky offense that could not get it going after the first quarter.
The low point came in the second quarter, when Boley committed three turnovers in a span that effectively ended the game.
