Kentucky had some serious problems holding on to the the ball in the fourth quarter (three consecutive fumbles!), when USC broke it wide open. With the victory, the Gamecocks evened their record at 3-3, and finally climbed out of the cellar in the SEC East (a place now occupied by — guess who — Kentucky).
