  "account": "In a thrilling SEC showdown, Kentucky's first-year coach Will Stein made a decisive play to secure a dramatic 35-34 victory over South Carolina. The game went into overtime after LaNorris Sellers of South Carolina scored a touchdown pass to Maurice Brown II, giving the Gamecocks a 34-27 lead. Kentucky responded with a touchdown of their own from Kenny Minchey on the next possession. Instead of kicking an extra point to force a second overtime, Stein opted for the risky two-point conversion attempt. His gutsy decision paid off, as Minchey connected with Willie Rodriguez for the crucial touchdown, shocking the South Carolina crowd. This win marks the largest come-from-behind road victory in Kentucky's history and is the second big SEC road win for Stein this season, following a triumph over Texas A&M earlier in the week.",
