The Florida Gators, aiming to secure a bowl appearance, face a Kentucky team with less overall talent but two X-factors in tight ends Josh Kattus and Willie Rodriguez. Kentucky's ability to challenge Florida, despite potential focus issues after an upset win, centers on these tight ends.
Florida football will try to pick up its first road win of the season at Kentucky. Here's five players who could make it happen.
The Gators and Wildcats have a storied history, with Florida holding a 54-24 all-time lead in a series that's been played annually since 1967.
Kentucky is not one of Florida's main rivals, but this matchup has provided some classic moments in both Gators and Wildcats history.
Florida football looks to pick up its first road win of the season when it plays at Kentucky in its second game under interim coach Billy Gonzales.
One Florida player to watch is wide receiver Eugene Wilson, who totaled nine catches for 121 yards and one touchdown against Georgia after catching just six passes in the previous five games. Gonzales previously served as Florida's wide receivers coach before being named the interim head coach.
The Florida Gators should brace for a physical, defense-heavy contest against the Kentucky Wildcats, where every point and possession will matter. Winning the turnover battle may ultimately decide the outcome, given both teams’ need to keep postseason hopes alive. As a result, any mistakes could prove costly, making every possession critical.
