South Carolina lost its second game of the season and its starting quarterback Saturday night against No. 17 Kentucky.
The Gamecocks fell 24-10 to the Wildcats and saw junior quarterback Jake Bentley leave in the fourth quarter with an undisclosed injury. Bentley, who was on the sideline with an apparent injury and without his helmet in the game’s final minutes, threw three interceptions before being replaced by senior Michael Scarnecchia.
The Gamecocks (2-2 overall, 1-2 SEC) have now lost five straight to Kentucky for the first time in the history of this series. The Wildcats improved to 5-0 for the first time since 2007 and 3-0 in the SEC for the first time since 1977.
