The Florida Gators flailed for much of their season-opening 24-7 win against Massachusetts last Saturday, falling from No. 25 in the AP Poll for Week 2 and holding onto that spot in the USA TODAY coaches poll by the skin of their teeth.
Their Week 2 opponent, Kentucky, isn’t just on a 29-game losing streak against the Gators, though — they’re also 0-1 in 2016. That ignominious record came by virtue of one of Week 1’s biggest collapses, as the Wildcats blew a 35-10 lead by allowing 34 consecutive points and not scoring in in the second half in a 44-35 loss to Southern Mississippi, whose offensive coordinator, Shannon Dawson, was let go by the Wildcats after an underwhelming 2015 campaign.
