South Carolina has a pivotal game Saturday night on the road in the SEC.

The Gamecocks (3-2, 0-2 SEC) take on No. 13 Kentucky (4-1, 1-1 SEC) in Lexington with kickoff scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on the SEC Network.

The GamecockCentral crew is on deck at Kroger Field and will be providing constant updates all night from an integral game.

The Gamecocks’ last win against Kentucky came in 2019 with the last win in Lexington coming a decade ago in 2012. South Carolina’s 3-7 in its last 10 against the Wildcats and have lost seven of the last eight games.

The last time South Carolina was in Kentucky was the night Shane Beamer was hired. The Gamecocks will likely be going against the Wildcats’ backup quarterback with Will Levis banged up.

He’s a game-time decision but ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported on College Game Day that Kentucky was preparing for Kaiya Sheron to start.
