Comments
This is a battle between two trying to salvage some kind of success in the 2020 season. The Gamecocks have already parted ways with Will Muschamp. You’ve got to wonder if Mark Stoops is of Kentucky is going to get the axe as well. I think based on the success in the previous two seasons he deserves another year at least. I believe UK has the edge here because the players have fewer distractions than South Carolina. It should be pretty close though.
