Defense continuing to improve despite key injuries

It got lost in the shuffle with the controversial clock management, the slew of penalties and the blocked field goal, but UF’s defense played perhaps its finest game since 2019 against Kentucky.

They limited the Wildcats to just 14 offensive points and 224 yards, including just 87 yards through the air. They allowed Kentucky to convert just one of nine third downs and stopped them on a fourth-down play. Tre’Vez Johnson intercepted a pass.

One of the touchdowns that they gave up was largely on Emory Jones for throwing an interception on UF’s side of the field.
