Freshman quarterback Steven Garcia proved to be the winning move for Coach Steve Spurrier today as the South Carolina Gamecocks beat the Kentucky Wildcats in Lexington, KT, by a score of 24-17.
Garcia replaced starting quarterback Chris Smelley, who struggled during the first half.
Smelley was clearly off his game today as he missed several golden opportunities to pass down-field to wide-open receivers.
The Gamecocks were energized by Garcia as the young quarterback exhibited the athleticism and passing precision that put South Carolina over the top.
'The Old Ball Coach' Steve Spurrier has never lost to Kentucky in his entire career as a head football coach. Today also marks Spurrier's 100th win in the Southeastern Conference out of 163 overall career wins, the 3rd highest in college football history.
South Carolina now moves to 5-2 on the season.
