Florida put on a show in front of a sold-out homecoming crowd in week eight, defeating the Wildcats 48-20 on Saturday night and snapping a three-game skid to Kentucky. The Gators improved to 4-3 (2-2 SEC) on the 2024 season behind an all-around team effort. Florida’s 48 points scored vs Kentucky is the most the Wildcats have allowed this season. The Gators’ defense allowed just 14 points and recorded three interceptions, which matched their 2023 season total.
A pair of true freshmen in DJ Lagway and Jadan Baugh earned the start vs Kentucky, which is the first time in program history Florida has started a true freshman duo at quarterback and running back.
