Florida and Kentucky have the opportunity to make a statement Saturday
On a college football weekend that's more meh than marvelous, Florida-Kentucky won't likely move the national needle much.
Yes, the Gators happen to be the defending SEC East champs, and this might be CBS' first SEC stop on the Verne Lundquist farewell tour, but after lackluster Week 1 performances by both teams, don't expect much excitement outside of Gainesville and Lexington.
Internally, this game is huge. There's a 29-game winning streak over the Wildcats on the line for the Gators, and the Swamp will be dripping with redemption on both sidelines when these two kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET.
