The first SEC road game of the season is always a big deal. Usually, it’s the first time all season that the Gators’ offense has to deal with crowd noise. The entire team has to deal with crazy fans yelling all sorts of vile things at them before, during and after the game.
For the freshmen, the SEC road opener is usually the first time that they’ve ever played in front of a hostile crowd of that size.
But No. 10 Florida’s conference road opener at Kentucky this week could be even more challenging than usual.
The Gators’ only road game so far was a date at South Florida in week two, and the Gators had more fans in the stadium for that one than the Bulls did.
