  "account": "COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — In a thrilling overtime victory on Saturday, No. 24 Kentucky defeated South Carolina 35-34, led by Kenny Minchey's impressive performance. Minchey connected with Henry Boyer on a 6-yard TD pass and also nailed a 2-point conversion to Willie Rodriguez, turning a 17-0 deficit into a thrilling comeback. The Wildcats (4-1, 2-1 SEC) trailed briefly, leading 24-20 after Minchey's 32-yard TD pass to Nic Anderson in the third quarter. South Carolina reclaimed the lead in the fourth quarter when LaNorris Sellers connected with DJ Black on a 15-yard TD pass. However, Minchey guided Kentucky on a 66-yard drive, culminating in a 29-yard tying field goal with 4:13 remaining. In overtime, Minchey again found Boyer, sealing the win with a perfect 2-point conversion pass to Rodriguez. Kentucky's players celebrated wildly on the field after securing their second major road win of the season under first-year coach Will Stein. This victory extends Kentucky's unbeaten streak in SEC play to two games, with the Wildcats now heading into SEC play with renewed momentum.",
