Much still unknown after 4-year-old was fatally struck by car near Kroger Field

By Rick Childress and Bailey Vandiver

LOOKING

FORWARD: Due to the ongoing nature of this situation and the relevance to UK’s campus, the Kernel is planning to pursue several issues related to this incident, including but not limited to: • Further charges brought against Heil, and the developments at his subsequent court appearances

news@kykernel.com

Days after a tragic accident on Cooper Drive during the UK football game on Sept. 15, much is still unknown.

What we do know is that a young boy was struck by a car and rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. Two days later, Marco Lee Shemwell died at the age of four.

The driver of the car that struck Shemwell, identified by the police, was Jacob Heil, an 18-year-old UK student. Heil was arrested on the scene for a DUI— though his breathalyzer test was below the standard legal limit of .08 percent, he was underage.

Four days after the accident and two days after Shemwell’s death, Heil’s attorney entered a not guilty plea in Fayette District Court to the charge of a DUI. As of that court date, no additional charges had been brought against him. Because he had only been charged with a misdemeanor as of that date, Heil did not have to appear in court in person.

Early reports from police said that the area Jacob Heil on Cooper Drive where the incident occurred had heavy pedestrian traffic due to the UK football game. According to the police citation, Heil had red, bloodshot, watery eyes at the time of his arrest. He later told police that he had drunk two beers that morning around 9:30, about five hours before the incident occurred.

Eight hours after Heil’s arrest, before any updates about Shemwell’s condition were available, Heil was released.

As more information became available, more consequences came from Heil’s university and fraternity.

On Tuesday, UK President Eli Capilouto announced via email that Heil had been suspended from UK, pending investigations conducted

by Lexington and UK Police and UK’s Office of Student Conduct. He also announced that ATO was suspended on an interim basis, meaning that all activities had to cease but members could remain living in the house.

A letter sent on Monday from the Office of Student Conduct to Alpha Tau Omega, of which Heil was a pledge, alerted the fraternity that it had been suspended due to its involvement in Saturday’s incident.

The letter detailed that money had been pooled among ATO members on Friday to purchase alcohol for a tailgate before the football game on Saturday, where alcohol was allegedly served to minors. ATO had previously confirmed that every new member, or pledge, was present at the ATO house during these events.

However, the national Alpha Tau Omega fraternity announced Wednesday that UK’s chapter would be closed due to the findings of an internal investigation.

“Violations of the Fraternity’s Health and Safety policy prompted the decision,” WKYT reported the fraternity said in a statement. “The chapter is closed and ATO no longer has a presence on campus.”

WKYT reported that because UK owns the property where the ATO chapter is located, UK will work with house residents to determine if they want to live in a residence hall or in off-campus housing. The students will not have to move out immediately, however.

This incident also prompted Provost David Blackwell and his senior leadership team to meet with a group of student leaders on Monday evening— including the leadership of all four Greek Life councils, leaders of individual chapters, and Student Government Association President Michael Hamilton.

According to Capilouto, the discussion centered on UK’s “firm expectation” that legal and university policies about alcohol consump-

“We are united in our commitment to creating a welcoming, inclusive, and safe community that values each member and those who visit us,” Capilouto wrote in his email.

Since the accident, there has been an outpouring of support via social media, particularly for the Shemwell family.

“The entire University of Kentucky community is heart-sick at the loss of a young child following a tragic accident near Cooper Drive this past weekend,” Capilouto wrote. “Please join us in extending our deepest condolences to his family and other loved ones.”

A GoFundMe established for the Shemwell family had raised $21,907 in four days, far surpassing the $5,000 goal. Many commenters and donators offered “love and prayers” to the family.

Social media reactions to Heil have been more mixed, though many have expressed their grief for “both” families— meaning both Shemwell’s and Heil’s.

Heil’s lawyer Chris Spedding spoke to the Herald-Leader after Heil’s not guilty plea on Wednesday.

“Mr. Heil’s family is absolutely crushed over this whole situation,” he said, reported by the Herald-Leader. “Their hearts go out to the victim’s family. There’s really nothing that they can say at this point to comfort the victim’s family other than they are certainly praying for them and feel terrible about this accident. They would like the family to know that.”

However, likely in response to the negative reaction to Heil on social media, Spedding said he asks that the public reserve judgment until all the facts come out. For example, Spedding claimed that Heil’s car did not “veer off” the road, which had been said by a police officer on Saturday.

“The misinformation that is being disseminated in the community is doing a disservice to most importantly the victim’s family, my client and the community in general,” Spedding said.

It is unknown when Heil will next appear in court, or when or if more charges will be brought against him.

Phillip’s Market brings ‘bare bones’ style to students near campus

By Akhira Umar

lifestyle@kykernel.com

Cook Out is the go-to place for hungry college kids on a budget.

But UK students may want to put another restaurant on their radar that’s closer to campus and just as cheap, if not cheaper.

Phillip’s Market has been nestled right off UK’s campus since 1980.

Located between Prince Hookah Lounge and Cuts on Lime, the business has held its niche for all these years, watching as the campus changed over time. Compared to UK’s campus, walking into Phillip’s Market is like walking into a time machine.

Though “market” is in the name, customers won’t find any barrels of colorful farm-fresh produce. Instead, they’ll find a business a little worse for wear but nonetheless charming— a privately held establishment that’s older than most of its customers.

Gordon Bentley has been the owner of Phillip’s Market since he took over after the death of the founder, who first started the business in 1959. He had worked on and off part-time for the business since 1972 before he took over to try to keep the business running.

Many businesses surrounding UK have seen the same struggle to stay afloat. Prior to 1980, Phillip’s Market could depend on neighborhood families to provide a customer base.

BOTTOM RIGHT: Phillip’s Market owner Gordon Bentley takes a customer’s lunch order on Monday, Sept. 7, 2018.

Once the ‘80s hit, UK started buying up the nearby property, converting most of the civilian neighborhoods into student housing. When summer comes around and students leave town, customer profit plummets. However, for Phillip’s Market to still be standing after all this time means something is obviously working. It may be small, but it’s resilient.

“It’s so far so good with it,” Bentley said.

Customers might be surprised to find out just how spacious Phil-

lip’s Market is compared to its facade. The store can be divided into two sections: the front and back.

The front has its own tables, the checkout counter, a few shelves of pre-packaged snacks and row upon row of cigarettes. The back, which has its own entrance, is the kitchen.

Here, customers can pick up their cold grocery items, like cheese, meats and soda, and order off an extensive menu.

Phillip’s Market’s food selection is so large that there are four separate menu boards, with numerous

options for breakfast and lunch.

For just $5.10, customers can get a breakfast platter of two eggs, two pieces of toast, four strips of bacon and gravy. For lunch they could grab a quarter-pound hamburger for $1.70. Or for those who want to mix it up, there are gyro fries, meatloaf or gumbo. However, the market’s bestseller by far is the $7.49 catfish sandwich, macaroni and fries platter.

Kisha Kendrick is the head cook at Phillip’s Market. Alongside her in the kitchen is her father, Gary Ken-

drick. Kisha originally started working at the market nine years ago to be close to home and her kids. She worked her way up from stocking the coolers to running the food scene full-time. Gary followed seven years later after suffering from a stroke. Now the duo caters to hungry students, making this business truly family friendly.

Gary said his favorite part about working at Phillip’s Market is meeting people of “all kinds.”

One of the market’s loyal customers happens to be a close neighbor. Samuel Wesley, a fifth year senior civil engineering major, lives in an apartment above Phillip’s Market and frequents the store at least twice a week. His order: chicken biscuits for breakfast and a buffalo chicken sandwich for lunch, all for less than $6.

“I don’t have a lot of overhead.

That’s one of the reasons I can keep the prices low on the food stuff,” Bentley said. “One of our competitive things would be the price, I think.”

Bentley believes it’s the “bare bones” style of the market that has kept it going for so long, compared to the more aesthetically pleasing businesses that keep closing. Although he’d like to “upscale” the place with WiFi for students and more counter space, he said he believes the business is doing just fine the way it is. The only thing he and the Kendricks wish for is more students to walk through the door.

The man who holds a sign on campus wants to talk to you

By Akhira Umar lifestyle@kykernel.com

College is a great place to discover new things and start compelling conversations.

This was one dedicated man’s reasoning for sitting on UK’s campus almost every day, homemade sign in hand with free, dollar-store Bibles for the taking.

Nathan Roszman has been parking himself on UK’s campus for more than two weeks. Right between the Margaret I. King Library and Pence Hall, Roszman sits and waits for students to talk to him about what he’s doing.

With his ascot cap, long beard and bike, Roszman comes off as an unassuming man. For hours he’ll sit quietly, just holding his sign with the question of the week.

“Did mind create matter or

did matter create mind?” read the sign the first week.

“Is anything really right or wrong?” was the next week’s sign.

Just who is Roszman? He’s a God-loving man who simply wishes to share some faith with others, he said.

“My purpose is to try to have conversations with people in an effort to evangelize, is the simplest way to say it,” Roszman said. “To encourage people to read the Bible, as I can. And I like to encourage progress in people’s thinking.”

UK’s campus isn’t the only pitstop on Roszman’s road to God. Roszman is an Ohio native, coming to UK off a suggestion from a friend. He’s also been to Knoxville, Tennessee; Tuscaloosa, Alabama; and Athens, Georgia. Because he is homeless, Roszman said

he has been able to pick up and go wherever he believes his message should be heard.

For Roszman, this is simply the job of a Christian. He grew up in a culture where the Bible was prevalent, and he read the whole text in high school. He said he has been on his journey of spreading the gospel since 2002. He is not sponsored by anyone nor does he represent a single church. He said he is simply following the word of God by spreading the gospel, a task that is mentioned numerous times in the Bible, from Matthew 16:15 to Psalms 96:3 and more.

While some students simply ignore Roszman and others jeer at him, there are a handful who actually approach him with a dialogue.

Roszman has talked to students about everything from

karma to free will and the moral implications of war.

“I found that a lot of people like to make a statement and keep walking without stopping for a response, and I think maybe that might have something to do with the popularity of the internet where people can remain anonymous,” Roszman said. “They like to comment without having to maybe wait around for any kind of consequences or comments, not that I would, you know, affect someone negatively. I don’t believe in getting into strife. I like to have peaceful conversations, but maybe people aren’t used to that.”

Sophomore Arizzona Albright, a merchandising, apparel, and textiles major, found Roszman’s efforts commendable.

“I think it’s great that he’s

peacefully expressing his views, to be honest,” Albright said. “I might not agree with whatever his beliefs are but I specifically remember first seeing his sign and it really made me think about it for a

few minutes.”

As far as how long Roszman will be spreading his message on UK’s campus, he doesn’t know. For now, just like in life, he’s taking it day by day.

The case against group projects

By Hannah Woosley

opinions@kykernel.com

Nearly every student has experienced this: Existential dread washing over her face as the professor laughs and makes the comment that this is “just preparing you for the real world.”

It’s group project time.

Group projects, whether it’s multiple projects or just one large project worth a big chunk of your final grade in the class, are dreaded by many hardworking students while plenty of C’s-get-degrees-motto student welcome them. We’ve all been here, whether you’re on the hard-working side or the other.

Group projects only teach students that being paired with lazy, poorly communicating colleagues is something we should just deal with, and not something that

should be stopped.

So many issues could arise during a group project, causing huge problems within the group, like poor communication, lack of equal effort, loss of creativity, conflicting schedules and, not to mention, often receiving the same grade as every other group member, whether earned or not.

Another large issue concerning group projects is the decision-making process.

Now, instead of making ever decision yourself, an entire group must be consulted, taking precious time away from the end result.

Not only is a grade at stake for a project, but also the class, depending on the percentage the project is worth for the overall class grade.

This could ultimately result in failure, meaning wasted time and money— two things that are not readily

available as college students.

At the very least, if group projects absolutely must take precedence over all else, allowing students to pick their own groups could change group project outcomes tremendously. After months of sitting in a classroom with your colleagues, it’s easy to decipher who does their work and who slacks off to slide by, but this often isn’t a choice students are given.

Some professors truly believe they’re helping students learn what the “real world” is like by forcing us into group projects that typically result in poorer grades and tension with our colleagues.

From a student beyond tired of taking over group projects and doing too much work: It’s not helping.

It’s time to reevaluate the validity of group projects in college.

editorial

In honor of Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, prioritize self-care This month, we at the Kernel join people all around the country in recognizing Suicide Prevention Awareness Month.

In honor of this month and important issue, we would like to encourage all UK students to openly discuss mental health and acknowledge mental health and self-care as normal and important issues on our campus.

Our generation must take the lead in normalizing this natural part of life, and we believe we can achieve this through working together.

The Kernel reported in April 2018 that more than 1,000 reports were filed during the 2016-2017 fiscal year with the Community of Concern, an on-campus resource devoted to addressing student and employee well-being and campus safety. According to that report, that number was a 30 percent increase from the 2015-2016 fiscal year. These numbers are reflective of a growing need for students to talk through the issues that cause stress and anxiety.

That story also quoted current SGA president Michael Hamilton, who said he felt strongly about mental health issues. He and his team are working on mental health initiatives, including a program that would allow ambassadors to freely and openly share about their use of mental health resources on campus such as the Counseling Center. This initiative would help greatly to reduce the stigma of seeking help from a mental health professional.

“I think it’s just tackling that

stigma,” Hamilton said at the time.

“We go to the University Health Services if we have a cold. I want to see, one day, the Counseling Center be that normal.”

We at the Kernel are happy that our student government, spanning several administrations, cares about mental health issues and easing stress levels for students.

We do realize, however, that no initiative or program can work without active cooperation from the ones most affected: students.

We encourage each person to not only shamelessly pursue self-care, but be aware of those around you.

Check on your friends, your classmates, the student who sits alone in the back of the classroom. Sometimes a simple greeting can do wonders. While we should each make sure we nurture our mental health, we should also be available to help those around us.

Finally, remember that self-care is a constant, daily need. While seeing a therapist or getting other medical help is absolutely vital, that does not negate the need for us to care for each other during dayto-day interactions. You can and should actively check on someone and be available for their needs, even if they are getting help elsewhere as well.

Put simply, be available for each other, while also caring for yourself. Be ready to talk and be ready to listen. We are all in this together, and if we help each other, we can move further toward normalizing self-care and seeking treatment for mental health.

Camping for the Cats: It’s Big Blue Madness campout time

By Roman West

sports@kykernel.com

Big Blue Madness is once again right around the corner, and that means campus will soon host campers from all over who can’t wait to see their Wildcats in person.

The year’s first open practice has been a tradition for the Big Blue Nation since 1983, when Joe B. Hall gave UK students their first ever taste of Big Blue Madness— back when they called it “Midnight Special.” That year, more than 10,000 fans entered Memorial Coliseum to watch Sam Bowie and Kenny Walker, along with the rest of the 1983 Fi-

nal Four team.

The tradition of camping out hasn’t been around as long as the event itself, however. The first person on record to camp out was in 1993, 10 years after the first Big Blue Madness.

The ticket distribution will begin at 10 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 28, at the ticket windows in Memorial Coliseum. Fans are also able to collect their free tickets through Ticketmaster.com.

Campus public safety officials have asked the public to wait to camp out for tickets until 5 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 26.

The campout is a way for Cats fans

both young and old to bond with the other campers over this year’s team and score some free tickets. All the tickets for Big Blue Madness are free, and the best seats are given out on a first-come, first-serve basis, which is why Big Blue Nation is willing to camp out for hours on end for it. It’s a sight to see, and if you’re on the north side of UK’s campus during the campout, you’ll be able to see the many dedicated fans waiting for their tickets.

If you arrive before Friday afternoon, you will be given a control card that you will use to obtain your tickets.

Those control cards are going to be handed out at 2 p.m. on Friday. If you aren’t there in time to receive a control

card, you are encouraged to use Ticketmaster.com for your tickets. Once available space for fans has reached capacity, the remaining fans will have to get tickets online.

A few expectations for campers are to be respectful of those around you, whether they be fellow campers, students, staff or security. The use of permanent, wooden-type structures, portable generators, and propane tanks or other open flames used in cooking is prohibited due to safety concerns, and tobacco and alcoholic beverages are prohibited as well.

This season’s Big Blue Madness will be held in Rupp Arena at 7 p.m. on Oct. 12.

Where are they now? Stephen Johnson reflects on his life since graduation

By Chris Leach sports@kykernel.com

For the last couple of football season, former Kentucky quarterback Stephen Johnson spent his Saturdays getting hit by SEC giants and Sundays healing for the next game.

Johnson has since retired from football to avoid spending most of his time recovering from injuries.

Now, Johnson spends his Saturdays doing more leisurely activities, like golfing or hanging out at the beach.

“It was a sigh of relief to not get banged up every Saturday, but it was definitely hard at first,” Johnson said.

What was hard for Johnson was stepping away from the game that has consumed his life for so long.

Johnson had been playing tackle football since the seventh grade and had spent every fall since then strapping on his helmet and battling on the gridiron with his teammates.

However, after his 10th season of football, Johnson had enough with all the beatings that came with football and made the decision to retire from the game.

Sometimes when players retire they get back into the game because they end up missing it, but that has not been the case for Johnson, who recently threw a football for the first time when visiting his old coaches at the College of the Desert.

Johnson still does miss football,

ADDISON COFFEY Quarterback Stephen Johnson of the Kentucky Wildcats looks to pass during the second half of the TaxSlayer Bowl against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets at EverBank Field on Dec. 31, 2016, in Jacksonville, Florida.

but he knows his future would be filled with uncertainty health-wise if he continued playing, which made the decision to hang up his cleats easier.

“With football being a huge part of my life for so long, having to cut it off, it sucked at first, but knowing the extent of my injuries, what I wanted to be doing in 40 years, if I continued playing football, that might not be possible,” he said.

Johnson had a long list of injuries during his football career, especially at Kentucky. He practically spent his entire senior season on the injury report and often made heroic plays

in the game when many thought his body could not handle any more damage.

It turns out Johnson’s body did sustain a good amount of damage.

Johnson suffered from concussions, shoulder injuries, knee injuries— you name it.

When Johnson retired, he had surgery on his left knee to repair a torn MCL and LCL from the 2016 season. Johnson was supposed to have double shoulder surgery but elected to skip it because the benefits would be marginal.

“Playing football for the next two to 20 years in the NFL, if that was

an option, I don’t know if I’d be able to do that,” Johnson said. “Just cause how I’m built, my frame, the surgeries I’ve already had, the concussions I already had, all of that is just something I considered with football.”

As part of the recovery process, Johnson continues to do physical therapy twice a week, but is still not back to 100 percent.

“I feel great, mobility-wise I can move a little bit better than I was, but still can’t run all the way, that’s going to take time,” Johnson said.

Now that his football career is over and he graduated from Kentucky in December with a degree in agricultural economics, Johnson and his girlfriend have moved out to California to enjoy a more relaxing lifestyle.

As expected, Johnson spends his time hanging out on the beach, even though he said he has never surfed.

Johnson also enjoys spending his time on the golf course, but he described his golf game as “mediocre.”

“It’s what me and my friends do, whenever we got time, we go out there, shank a few left and right and just enjoy each others’ time,” Johnson said.

However, with the play also comes work, and Johnson has found a good career with Premium Cabinets, where Johnson is the head sales representative.

“I really enjoy it, it’s great money,” Johnson said. “I see myself really making my own in about a year or so just to move on up with it.”

Even though his life is set in California, Johnson still returns to Kentucky from time to time to visit old teammates and coaches. Johnson recently came back to Kentucky for the Cats’ home opener against Central Michigan, and plans to do so near the end of September for Naquez Pringle’s birthday, and in the middle of October to be part of the Southland Church Men’s Conference.

Johnson will speak at the conference along with Kentucky baseball coach Nick Mingione.

“Kentucky is my second home, the relationships I’ve built here, the people I’ve really encountered with and just the place in general, I love it,” Johnson said.

When Johnson returns home to California, he stills finds himself connected to Kentucky with random interactions with fans.

“You’d be surprised, whether it’s at my job, if I’m talking to somebody and they recognize me from playing football or whether it’s just going out to eat in L.A. and somebody is wearing a Kentucky shirt and they kind of look at me and they’re like ‘I know you,’” Johnson said. “It’s cool to see that because BBN really does stretch everywhere.”

Looking back on top moments of South Carolina winning streak

By Chase Campbell sports @kykernel.com

As Kentucky’s most infamous losing streak ends, the next goal is quite the opposite— maintain a building winning streak against conference opponent South Carolina. Since the 1990s, the Cats and Gamecocks have played an annual game. Some have been blowouts (USC won 54-3 in 2011) and some have been narrow escapes (the Cats scored a last-minute touchdown to beat USC in 2010).

Since 2014, the Cats have won against South Carolina annually. It’s beginning to become expected, even if the game is one of only two SEC wins, as was the case in 2014.

Over the last several years, there have been some memorable moments in the annual rivalry game. A little bad blood here and there has never gone amiss, and it’s unlikely this year will be much different. With that said, here are my picks for the three best UK-USC moments from recent years: 3. It’s a party In 2014, in front of 62,135 fans at then-Commonwealth Stadium, the Cats were kicking off another bleak conference schedule by hosting South Carolina. Early in the second quarter, the game

10 | kentucky kernel

seemed to be more of the same for UK’s gridiron squad.

The Gamecocks were up 140, and the situation looked poor overall for the Cats.

Thanks to a short flurry of touchdowns and a half-ending field goal by Austin MacGinnis, the Cats tied the game at 17 at the half.

In the third and fourth quarters, USC seemed to be running away with the game again. With just over eight minutes to go in the game, the Gamecocks were up 14 and fans started filing out of the stadium. The Cats drove down the field, thanks to a resilient effort from JoJo Kemp, and he punched it in to bring the Cats within a score.

UK made the Gamecocks punt after just four plays, and scored again to tie the game at 38 with only three minutes left. All USC had to do was get in field goal range.

Two plays into the USC drive, quarterback Dylan Thompson threw a pass wide that was intercepted by Alvin “Bud” Dupree. Dupree took the pass six yards into the end zone, putting the Cats ahead for good.

What helps this game live on in infamy is the Cats’ celebration after their latenight scores. As Waka Flocka Flame’s “Grove Street Party” blasted over the speakers during UK’s comeback at-

Finally, in the third-longest drive of the game, South Carolina finds themselves in the end zone. 24-22, and the Cats are in danger. Freshman defensive end Denzil Ware, then relegated to the special teams unit, saw his opportunity. He took a fumble on a two-point conversion attempt and took it 98 yards for the two points.

Cats win.

tempt, the special teams unit stood together and danced before the kickoff to continue the game. It’s a tradition that still holds after touchdowns.

2. Bend, don’t break The 2015 season was not kind to Stoops’ Troops. They ended the season 5-7 (2-6 SEC) and seemed to be stuck in a rut, forever doomed to be an underperforming football team. Fans were hopeful to start the 2015 season, but didn’t expect much. South Carolina hosted the Cats, who were in the midst of a horrific 22-game road losing streak.

After the first drive, the Gamecocks were up 7-0

amidst the general groan from the true blue of “here we go again.” Thanks to stellar performances by Patrick Towles and Stanley “Boom” Williams, however, the Cats led 24-7 at the half. They had a chance.

South Carolina scored first to start the second half, charging down the field in under two minutes before being stopped for a field goal. 24-10.

UK punts after three plays.

USC moves down the field again, this time in 2:06. However, they get stopped for a field goal again. 24-13.

UK punts after three plays.

Another field goal. 24-16.

UK punts.

1. Mike goes mad 2010 was a strange year for the Cats. Yes, I know this wasn’t in the winning streak.

However, it still stands as the single greatest second-half performance I have ever seen out of Kentucky football.

In 2010, the program was still in a bit of a hangover from its glory 2007-08 years.

Randall Cobb, the ultra-athletic and NFL-bound Swiss Army knife of a player, was balling out. And No. 10 South Carolina was coming to town.

A lot of the years the Cats have beaten USC, the Gamecocks have been on some kind of down year, or are middling in the SEC. In 2010, the Gamecocks were world-beaters.

They sure looked like it in the first half, too. All-American and current USC director of player development Marcus Lattimore (who would suffer a horrific leg injury in a later game that he’s remembered for) ran all over the

Cats, scoring two touchdowns in the first half. After the first quarter, USC was up 14-0. After the first half, they were up 28-10.

The defenses went back and forth until the end of the third quarter, after it seemed like South Carolina was simply wrapping a weak conference opponent up in a bow.

Then, something happened with Mike Hartline. I’m not even sure what it was. Maybe he got a phone call from Tom Brady. Maybe he came in contact with a Space Jamstyle football. Either way, he took over the game.

Over the next 15 game minutes, Mark Hartline threw for roughly 200 yards and hit three different receivers for three more touchdowns to come storming back against a national power.

The Cats played the long game in the fourth quarter during their go-ahead drive, stretching the possession out over six minutes. The drive was capped by a 24-yard pass from Hartline to Cobb, followed by a Cobb rush for the two-point conversion. The Cats had their first lead of the game against No. 10 USC, and there was only a minute left. The Gamecocks couldn’t recover, and the Cats had a statement win.

UK versus USC will kick off Saturday, Sept. 29.
