Kentucky ends decades of frustration with defeat of Gators at The Swamp

Ding dong the streak is dead.

Kentucky found a way on a crazy day to end a 31-game streak of futility against Florida, upending the No. 25 Gators 27-16 on Saturday night.

It was the Cats’ first victory over Florida since 1986 and their first at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium since 1979.

Streak busting didn’t look so likely at the half, after Kentucky turned it over twice inside Florida’s 35-yard line and trailed 10-7.
