00:00Kentucky and South Carolina, the Cats looking pretty good in a rain and weather shortened

00:08game last week against Southern Miss. 31-zip, covering as a 25-and-a-half point favorite

00:13one of three schools, along with Texas and Alabama to shut out an FBS opponent in week

00:20number one. They get South Carolina today, tested last week by Old Dominion, had a lead

00:25with seven minutes left in that football game, and you can see in Lexington, Kentucky

00:29greater than a touchdown favorite. How does the SEC opener this year go for both the Gamecocks

00:34and the Cats? Looks like a sneaky sizzle over here for me. Vandergriff was letting it rip

00:37last week. South Carolina has to bounce back offensively. They bring in Rocket Sanders.

00:42We know the kid has juice. Beamers got to get this group on the roll here. They were

00:45nearly upset by ODU due to a really slow start for that offense. I think we can get points.

00:50You might get me on that over, but I'm starting to like South Carolina. I think you're getting

00:54an inflated number. South Carolina has won two straight in the series, including last

00:59year, 17-14. The reason why I think you're seeing the number so inflated is that South

01:03Carolina last year was 0-5 on the road or on a neutral field. I think there's very even

01:11in regards to both of these teams. Sellers needs to step up, but give me the points,

01:15and Kev, you might get me in on the over later. 41-and-a-half is that number. Kentucky under

01:21Mark Stoops in SEC play has won four conference games in five of the last eight seasons, but

01:27just three-and-five straight up each of the last two years. Under Shane Beamer, the first

01:32losing season last year in Columbia in SEC play the last three seasons, 12-and-12, against
