Justice will be served for the Gamecocks against Kentucky. Freshman tight end and Central product Justice Cunningham will make his first collegiate start, filling in for the injured Weslye Saunders.

Cunningham did have some issues at practice Wednesday, as he was carted off the field because of cramps. “Justice is a guy who sweats a lot and he gets cramps if he doesn’t drink a lot of Gatorade. We’ll try to hydrate as well as we can before Saturday in case we do get a real hot one.”

Saunders is battling an ankle injury he sustained during the SC State game.

Cunningham made one catch in that game, for 9 yards. It's his only catch of his career, but he has played on special teams.
