There’s no sugar-coating it; last night as painful. Losses are hard, but they’re especially bad when a team has beaten you 28 straight times prior. Even worse, Kentucky was in one of its best positions to down the Gators in a long time – the fanbase was hyped, Florida is relatively weak, and UK had quality motivation after its overtime loss last season.
However, all of that’s over and the only direction to look is forward. The reality of the situation is that Kentucky is still in a very good position to get six wins and make their first bowl game since 2010.
