Kentucky recruits gush over Kroger Field atmosphere during win over Florida

It doesn’t happen as often as we’d probably like, but sometimes the hype does exceed whatever lofty expectations have been set beforehand. Kentucky’s upset win over Florida on Saturday is the finest example of that.

The first win over the Gators in Lexington in 35 years, Kentucky needed all 60 minutes of football to pull off the historical upset. From kickoff to the final whistle, every moment was thrilling. And if you’re someone who spent the whole day tailgating, it went on even longer.

It’s been talked about over and over again, but the atmosphere at Kroger Field on Saturday truly was unique.
