Related Topics: Florida, Kentucky

The Kentucky Wildcats led this game over the Florida Gators time and again, led it by a 27-14 count in the third quarter and into the fourth quarter. They deserved to win, dominated, worked like hell

But all that wasn’t enough to keep history from repeating itself, as Florida refused to fall in the second half, hanging on for a 28-27 victory decided by a fingernail’s width as much as it was a single point.

The Wildcats and Gators traded touchdowns in the first half — Kentucky going ahead, Florida following behind — en route to a 14-14 tie at halftime.
