As has been the case in this rivalry recently, it was a hard-fought game that saw the Cats have chances to put Florida away in the second half. Last year, the Cats failed to do so and ultimately suffered one of the most heartbreaking losses of the 31-game losing streak.
But as the old saying goes, it’s the darkest before the dawn. There have been some painfully low moments in this series, and last year was arguably the lowest, all things considered.
Tonight was the dawn the Big Blue Nation has been waiting for three decades to embrace, so let’s enjoy and soak in every moment of the 27-16 win for the Bluegrass Wildcats.
