OPEN GAME THREAD: Kentucky at South Carolina

I don't have to tell anyone that this game is huge. It is huge for the Gamecocks, huge for the Wildcats, and huge for the SEC East.
The ramifications of tonights tilt in Columbia are far-reaching. If UNC wins, they take firm control of the East with victories over contenders Kentucky and Georgia. If Kentucky wins, it goes to 6-0 for the first time since The Bear stalked the sidelines.
The Big Blue Nation's interest is aroused, as is the entire sporting universe. Never in memory has a Kentucky team been poised to do as much as this one is. Will we seize the moment, or fade back to our "place"?
Are you ready for some FOOTBALL?? I'll let Steve Johnson take it from here (Hat tip: The Fake Gimel Martinez):
This is the official open game thread. Post your comments, let's root the Cats on to victory!

So much for 41-17
This is going to be a heavyweight fight. Tamme pulled down a TD to tie the game at 10.

Cats looked rattled...
Woodson will be fine, I bet. But playing for halftime didn't work...I agree btw on "prevent".
As my dad always reminded me, it "prevents" you from winning.

AH!
...defense is rediculous right now though. I'm afraid we're gonna need a turnover to finish this out. Btw, we should fake this field goal :).

Re:GP
This is a game that they don't deserve to win.
To play on national TV, and play in a way an 8th grade team would be ashamed of, they are not deserving of a W.

Real shame about the turnovers. Damn. Not to mention Little's fumble on that goal line draw play -- could easily have been a TD rather than a FG with the way the hole was opening up. Put 'em down 8 instead of 4. Now USC scores. Down 15.
Didn't have to be this way.

Sorry
UF may lose 4 games this year and that may be more than they lose the next three in total. It is ok, after the past couple years, UF has a decade of chest thumping saved up.

Merry Christmas, Gamecocks. You may have won the game anyway, but this one was a gift. 3 fumbles and an interception cost us at least 20 and arguably 28 points.

What an incredibly incompetent performance.
Perhaps this is this years version of last years LSU game. They reeled off 5 victories in 6 games after that defeat.
If I had a vote, UK would be around 18-20th in the polls.
It's not that they lost, it's how they lost. Make no mistake, they lost the game, SC didn't do much to win.
Mental errors, not forced TO's, were the culprit tonight. Play this way again, against ANY team remaining on their schedule, and defeat will be the sour taste in their mouths.

I think the Cats will rebound from this, and if they play LSU tough, maybe we will regain our swagger.
Right now, I am sure the coaches are questioning the team's manhood, and Woodson must take most of the heat for this one.
