Challenges for Kentucky
The biggest question concerning Kentucky for this game is will Will Levis play on Saturday? We don’t have the answer to that but we do know that his backup has to be ready to perform in a winning manner for UK. The Kentucky players also have to support that backup. His (Kaiya Sheron) numbers were decent against the Gamecocks as he completed more touchdown passes than he had passes intercepted. However, Kentucky was just 3 of 12 for third down conversions and that was likely the difference in the game.
Saturday‘s game kicks off at 6:30 PM CT (7:30 PM ET). Watch this SEC football game on the SEC Network.
