I thought UK outplayed South Carolina and of the two might-have-been games this season — it and at home against Mississippi State — was the one UK most deserved and should have won. Had that happened it could have created the most unusual scenario of UK sweeping its road games and being swept in its home games. The strong road record surely speaks well of the coaching staff and players.
