After their first win of the season against New Mexico State last week, Kentucky followed that up by defeating South Carolina this past Saturday for their second straight victory.

A team that was once reeling to begin the season seems to have found themselves with two straight wins. Now New Mexico State and South Carolina aren’t the top teams in the nation, but these two wins have to be nothing but confidence boosters for the Wildcats. Boom Williams was the spark for the offense as he rushed for 123 yards and a touchdown. Kentucky’s defense stepped up as well, limiting the Gamecocks to just 10 points.

Things do not get any easier for Kentucky, as they will travel to face the top ranked Alabama Crimson Tide, this Saturday.

Next game: October 1 at Alabama, 7:00pm ET ESPN
