Bold Predictions: No. 13 Kentucky-South Carolina

The No. 13 Kentucky Wildcats (4-1, 1-1 SEC) will look to rebound after feeling defeat for the primary time this season, welcoming South Carolina (3-2, 0-2 SEC) to Kroger Area for a primetime SEC East conflict. Forward of tonight’s contest, listed here are our daring predictions because the Cats look to make it three in a row over the Gamecocks. 

Hunter 

Listed below are Chris Rodriguez’s profession numbers in opposition to South Carolina: 

• 46 carries
• 348 yards
• 7.6 yards-per-rush
• 4 touchdowns

I like C-Rod to mark his territory for the primary time in 2022, bulldozing previous the Gamecocks protection for 150 complete yards of offense and at the very least two touchdowns. If Will Levis is not absolutely wholesome, there must be no questions on who will get the soccer on Saturday night time. 

On the defensive aspect, Carrington Valentine had a quick begin to the season however had a quiet afternoon in opposition to Ole Miss. I like for the junior cornerback to pickup his second interception of the season, swiping a go from Spencer Rattler, perhaps selecting up a number of extra go breakups alongside the way in which. 

Matt 

Kentucky goes to have to guide on the bottom recreation as we speak, so I like the place Hunter went together with his prediction. I consider C-Rod finally ends up being the man that’s the star of this recreation, and I mentioned as a lot in my recreation prediction, however I additionally suppose the protection has a day too. I like Kentucky to pressure 4 turnovers as we speak, together with three interceptions, taking one for a rating. This recreation goes to be about re-establishing id and enjoying Kentucky soccer, and South Carolina goes to have its arms full as we speak, with what I count on to be an indignant Kentucky workforce.
