October 8th: On this date....


...... in 1999, Dusty Bonner led your University of Kentucky Wildcats to a 30-10 victory over Lou Holtz’s South Carolina Gamecocks. Bonner threw a touchdown and ran for another in the 20-point victory in Columbia. The win extended the Gamecocks Division I losing streak to 16. The Kentucky quarterback finished 23-34 for 263 yards and the two total touchdowns. It was only the second time Bonner has been held to less than three touchdown passes during the ‘99 season. The Cats moved to 4-2 on the year, even with the SEC’s worst defense. Tight end James Whalen added nine catches for 119 yards. The Big Blue defense stepped it up this day and had given up only 78 yards of offense until South Carolina scored on a bomb with 9:00 left in the game.
