For the first time since 2015, a Mark Stoops-led football team will finish with a losing record, as the Wildcats fell to No. 6-ranked Florida 34-10 on Saturday in Gainesville.
With the loss, Kentucky drops to 3-6 with the regular season finale set for next week against South Carolina. Due to COVID-19, all teams are bowl eligible so the Wildcats will have a least two more chances to enter the win column in what’s been an emotional 2020 season.
Entering the game without several key players, including leading rusher Chris Rodriguez for the second consecutive week, Kentucky showed some fight early on but fell short due to penalties, miscues on special teams and continued shortcomings in the passing game.
