Game Recap
The Kentucky Wildcats defeated the Florida Gators with a final score of 33-14 in a dominant performance at Kentucky's home stadium. Ray Davis was the star of the day, contributing significantly to the Wildcats' offensive explosion with three rushing touchdowns, including a 75-yard breakaway in the first quarter. Florida struggled offensively, especially on third downs, converting only 4 of 13 attempts.
Kentucky set the tone early with a combination of strong rushing and opportunistic defense. Florida's quarterback, Graham Mertz, threw an interception that Kentucky quickly capitalized on for a touchdown.
