This, in the year 2017, is the year that the Kentucky Wildcats finally upend the Florida Gators in a college football game.
At least, that’s what we’re meant to believe this week’s predictions and preparations mean.
And, okay, yes: Florida has been mostly unimpressive in its two games, getting steamrollered slowly and fighting back punchlessly against Michigan and needing to fend off Tennessee thanks largely to an offense that didn’t rev up until its defense was gassed. I get that Florida looks vulnerable, like it did in 2007, or 2013, or 2015 — years in which Florida was coming off two straight losses, starting a quarterback for the first time, and starting a freshman quarterback on the road for the first time, respectively, on the way to Lexington.
