The South Carolina Gamecocks continue their first road swing of the season when they make a stop in Lexington, Ky., on Sept. 29 to take on the Wildcats. Once a middling division foe that rarely struck fear into Gamecock hearts, the Wildcats have harnessed heretofore unknown dark magics to run up an unprecedented four-game winning streak against South Carolina. It goes without saying that if the Gamecocks want to take another step forward in 2018, snapping their current skid to Kentucky is essential.
Last meeting: In a mind-numbing home opener, the Gamecocks got more or less beaten at their own game.
