South Carolina drops uniform combo for night game against Kentucky

South Carolina football is going with a classic look for its night game Saturday against Kentucky.

The Gamecocks will break out the Black Magic throwback look: garnet helmet, Black Magic jersey and white pants against the Wildcats. Kickoff is 7:30 p.m. in Williams-Brice Stadium.

The video was shot in Five Points, with fans explaining what USC football means to them.

The look, announced in the offseason, honors the 1984 team that went 10-2 and rose to No. 2 in the country before getting upset by Navy. Joe Morrison’s squad relied on an option offense and a punishing defense to post one of the finest seasons in program history.

The Gamecocks are looking to break a five-game losing streak to UK. The game is on SEC Network.
