Kentucky opened the game with promise, electing to receive the ball after winning the toss. The Wildcats marched down the field, and running back Seth McGowan capped the drive with a 20-yard touchdown run. In celebration, McGowan fired the ball toward the wall behind the end zone — but missed his mark, hitting a fan who turned out to be South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers’ grandfather.
South Carolina insider Lauren Beasley reported that medical personnel were called to check on the fan.
