South Carolina Gamecocks vs Kentucky: Live Scores and Updates

The stage is set for a 7:45 pm (ET) kickoff between the South Carolina Gamecocks and the Kentucky Wildcats from Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia. Look below for information regarding tonight's game including live scores, updates, and any news surrouding both squads.

This is a pressure game for the 2025 Gamecocks team that entered the year with eyes squarely set on the College Football Playoffs. While that hope isn't gone just yet, it is certainly hanging by the smallest of threads following back to back losses at the hands of Missouri and Vanderbilt.

South Carolina sits at 2-2 and is looking for the third win of the season before next week's bye and the eventual meat of the SEC schedule. Kentucky meanwhile strolls in fresh off a bye week and a 2-1 record. The team in Garnet and Black remain the favorites ahead of tonight's opening kick and desparately needs to play like it.
