After a projected heartbreaker in Gainesville, the Wildcats will return home to Kroger Field to take on the Kent State Golden Flashes.

Kent State won its first-ever Bowl Game in 2019 with a victory over Jordan Love and Utah State in the Frisco Bowl. While the Flashes will be a quality challenge for the Cats, they’ll be tough to stop after a loss.

Look for UK’s SEC offensive line to roll over Kent State and help the Cats flash by Kent State to move back over .500.

Final Score: Kentucky 38, Kent State 10 (2-1, 0-1)

player. 850. Lexington (Ky.). South Carolina Gamecocks. Sept. 26. 4. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis

Last season, Kentucky’s five game winning streak over South Carolina was snapped after the Gamecocks held Sawyer Smith and UK to just seven points in Columbia.

This year with a healthy quarterback, the Wildcats should start a new winning streak over a South Carolina team who lost three of their top players in Bryan Edwards, Javon Kinlaw and Rico Dowdle to the draft.

With revenge in mind and home field, UK should find its first SEC victory of the season in Week 4.

Final Score: Kentucky 28, South Carolina 17 (3-1, 1-1)
