The bye week is over, and Kentucky football finds itself at a season-defining crossroads. Tomorrow night’s road trip to Williams-Brice Stadium against South Carolina (7:45 p.m. ET, SEC Network) is no ordinary game. For Mark Stoops, his staff, and a restless Big Blue Nation, this is as close to a must-win SEC showdown as it gets.
South Carolina enters equally desperate, having dropped back-to-back contests to Vanderbilt and Missouri. With both programs needing a reset, the atmosphere in Columbia is guaranteed to be electric and tense. Two programs trying desperatly to prove they still are relevant in a changing SEC.
