5 things we learned from South Carolina's win over Kentucky (The State)

Did the Gamecocks win? Spencer Rattler and UofSC traveled to Kroger Field and got a key SEC victory for USC coach Shane Beamer.

South Carolina ranked tops in the SEC in takeaways a year ago. Now, though, White’s unit is creating all sorts of havoc — and helping the offense in the process. The Gamecocks are going to enjoy Saturday night — and rightfully so. However, he made plays when South Carolina desperately needed them. The fourth quarter interception UK backup quarterback Kaiya Sheron threw also functionally ended the game. Lloyd’s 45-yard fourth quarter run on Saturday set up the reverse toss touchdown run by Jalen Brooks two plays later that gave South Carolina the back-breaking touchdown it desperately needed. Point being, South Carolina kept Rodriguez in front of it. That should count for something, even if he needs to be better across an entire game. Lloyd finished the contest with his second career 100-yard rushing game, racing for 110 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries to go with another 31 yards receiving. He wasn’t scanning the defense effectively. He completed 8 of 10 second half passes. [the former Oklahoma signal-caller](https://www.thestate.com/sports/college/university-of-south-carolina/usc-football/article256577381.html) looked out of sorts in the first half.
