South Carolina (2-1, 1-1 SEC) takes on No. 17 Kentucky (4-0, 2-0 SEC) on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. in a game that will be televised by SEC Network. Here are our top five burning questions headed into that game:
Can South Carolina run the ball?
The Gamecocks rushed for 273 yards against Vanderbilt last week, but that was against Vanderbilt. Running the ball against Kentucky will be a different type of challenge. The Wildcats held Mississippi State to 56 rushing yards last week. They held South Carolina to 54 rushing yards last year. That kind of total is not going to get it done for the Gamecocks, who haven’t topped 100 yards on the ground against Kentucky since 2015.
