Kentucky went more than two quarters without completing a pass Saturday. For the game, the number of Wildcat completions (6) nearly was topped by the number of sacks allowed on Kentucky QBs (5). Against a South Carolina team that barely eeked out a one-score win over Old Dominion in Week 1, Kentucky got absolutely steamrolled.
The offensive line was horrifying, allowing 11 tackles for loss. At one point, QB Brock Vandagriff was so steamrolled that UK ran the ball on 17 consecutive plays. Not that it helped much. Kentucky finished the game with almost as many penalties (11) as first downs (13).
