It’s been a long time since Kentucky won a road game, but it’s been even longer since they won at South Carolina. Dusty Bonner was the quarterback and Lou Holtz was in his first year as the head coach of the Gamecocks. The Cats won 30-10 over a team that wouldn’t win a game all year.
As chronicled by John Clay in the October 10, 1999 edition of the Herald-Leader, Mumme’s offense wasn’t up to par, but South Carolina was so bad that the defense, led by Jeff Snedegar, held the Gamecocks to only 78 yards of offense before they busted a 78-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter.
