Mark Story: In South Carolina, Kentucky’s Mark Stoops prepares again to face his pivotal foe

Mark Stoops aims to overcome recent struggles against South Carolina, where his team has lost key games and faced declining offensive performance under coordinator White.

  • Kentucky will play South Carolina at Williams-Brice Stadium on September 27 after an open week, marking a pivotal game in the Mark Stoops coaching era.
  • This matchup follows a one-year roster rebuild, which added 50 new scholarship players to reverse a recent decline in Wildcats’ football performance.
  • Kentucky has struggled against South Carolina’s White-coordinated defenses, scoring no more than 16 points in four meetings and turning over the ball 12 times.
  • Stoops explained that with the Wildcats' first off week arriving early in the schedule and the players feeling relatively rested, he is intensifying their practice sessions by increasing scrimmage work to better prepare the team for the upcoming game.
  • The game's outcome will indicate the success of Kentucky’s roster rebuild and guide the direction of the program in the 2025 season requiring six wins for bowl eligibility.
