South Carolina starting quarterback LaNorris Sellers exited the game against Kentucky due to a lower body injury, prompting backup Robby Ashford to take over. Sellers initially went to the locker room near the end of the first quarter but returned to the sidelines before the half, with hopes of returning to play according to Coach Shane Beamer. Sellers had completed 3 of 4 passes for 55 yards and a touchdown before his injury, which occurred after a hit on a pass attempt. The Gamecocks were leading 7-0 at the time of Sellers' injury, while Kentucky struggled offensively with only 30 yards in the first quarter. Coach Beamer expressed confidence in Ashford's abilities, highlighting his competitive nature and experience in the SEC. The situation remains fluid as updates about Sellers' condition are expected.
