Starting sophomore corner Chris Lammons doesn't appear as if he'll suit up versus Kentucky, due to sore ribs and a twisted knee.

It has to be a worrisome bit of news for head coach Steve Spurrier and his staff. The Wildcats possess a talented passing attack, led by quarterback Patrick Towles and a trio of talented receivers in Garrett Johnson, Dorian Baker and Jeff Badet.

With Towles' arm strength, expect UK to test the secondary early and often on passes down the field.

Fortunately for South Carolina, the likes of Al Harris Jr. and Rico McWilliams have experience versus SEC competition. Both should be able to provide adequate cover on the back-end for the Gamecocks.
