Playing on the road in the SEC is a huge challenge for every team, no matter where it’s playing.
Unless that place is Lexington, Kentucky, said one South Carolina player.
USC safety Chris Moody on UK:"It’s a weird place to play. I can’t tell you why. It’s just a weird place to go line up and play. It’s quiet."

It seems like Moody is just taking a jab at a Wildcats program in a tailspin, but he might be onto something. A scant crowd turned out at Commonwealth Stadium for Kentucky’s 62-42 win against New Mexico State last Saturday, the first win for a team that ranks 122nd nationally in both scoring defense and total defense.
Moody’s bulletin-board-material quote will likely be on the mind of the Wildcats when they host South Carolina at 7:30 p.m. ET Saturday on the SEC Network.
