THURSDAY GAMES S. Carolina holds off Kentucky

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Daccus Turman had three short touchdown runs and South Carolina survived Kentucky's fourth-quarter rally to win its fourth straight over the Wildcats, 27-21, Thursday night.
The Gamecocks (4-2, 1-2 Southeastern Conference) looked on their way to an easy victory, leading 27-7 through three quarters and with Wildcats senior quarterback Jared Lorenzen out of the game after a helmet-to-helmet hit from South Carolina defensive lineman Moe Thompson.
But Kentucky backup Shane Boyd led two touchdown drives in the final quarter. He hit Chris Bernard in the left front corner of the end zone on fourth-and-7, then four minutes later, broke free from an apparent sack for a 15-yard touchdown run to cut the lead to 27-21 with 6:05 remaining.
The Wildcats (2-4, 0-3) got the ball back one last time with 2:07 to go. However, Boyd overthrew Derek Abney on fourth down with 16 seconds to go and the Gamecocks held on.
Kentucky had only 26 yards total in the opening period, didn't get a first down until 13:10 before halftime and Lorenzen was continually chased out of the pocket. He finished 10-of-18 for 129 yards and a touchdown.
Colorado St. 58, BYU 13
PROVO, Utah -- Bradlee Van Pelt passed for 192 yards and three touchdowns as Colorado State became the first opponent to score more than 50 points at Brigham Young.
Marcus Houston had 18 carries for 85 yards and three touchdowns as the Rams (4-3, 1-1) avoided an 0-2 start in the Mountain West. The defending conference champions gained 446 yards of offense while scoring their most points since a 55-20 win over San Jose State in 1997.
Van Pelt completed 8-of-11 passes with no interceptions and ran 12 times for 51 yards before heading to the bench after just one series in the third quarter. The Cougars (3-4, 2-2), who snapped a two-game losing streak last week with a 44-36 win over San Diego State, never recovered from some early blunders.
