Gators expecting another hotly contested battle with Kentucky

The Kentucky Wildcats have been a thorn in the Gators’ side for the last seven years or so.

In 2014, it took triple-overtime for the Gators to escape the Swamp with a win. It took Kentucky completely ignoring two Gators receivers and missing a field goal for the Gators to win in 2017. It took a career backup quarterback named Kyle Trask leading an unforgettable fourth-quarter comeback for UF to win in 2019.

And, of course, Kentucky snapped its 31-game losing streak to Florida in the Swamp in 2018.

Even though the Gators have a significantly more talented roster than the Wildcats on an annual basis, just about every game between these teams seems to take 10 years off of the lives of everybody who’s watching.
