Last week, in this space, I was writing about how the Florida Gators “probably should have beaten the Tennessee Volunteers soundly enough to not need a miracle on Saturday.”
They probably shouldn’t have beaten the Kentucky Wildcats last night.
But they did, in fact, beat the Wildcats — for the 31st consecutive year, and the 31st consecutive meeting — and I’m really, really not upset about that.
Also, here’s what I learned from the game.
Florida has the framework of an offensive identity
You can say what you will about Florida taking advantage of brain-dead pre-snap alignments twice for touchdown passes being lucky, and about Florida running the ball down Kentucky’s throat on short, grinding carries by Malik Davis being not to your aesthetic taste, and I will hear your arguments.
