For just the second time in 43 years, Kentucky found a way to win in The Swamp.

It wasn’t always pretty, but the No. 20 Wildcats overcame offensive struggles and special teams sloppiness with an excellent effort on defense in a 26-16 victory over No. 12 Florida.

Of those 26 points, 13 came directly off interceptions of Florida’s Anthony Richardson. Richardson was phenomenal in Florida’s Week 1 win over Utah but struggled mightily in this one. After rushing for 106 yards and three touchdowns last week, Richardson was limited to just four yards on the ground in this one.
