Kentucky gives up a 32-yard pass completion on 3rd-and-14.

South Carolina throws a 16-yard TD pass on next play. Gamecocks now up 17-6 with 6:49 left in 3rd.

Given UK's offensive struggles, looks grim for the Cats.

Going to be interesting to see how Kentucky approaches second half from offensive standpoint. Obviously cannot pass protect against South Carolina's front. Picking up yardage running the ball behind center and left side. But can that continue without some sort of variation?
