This series may not have been competitive for the bulk of the last three decades. Prior to 2018, the Gators hadn’t lost to Kentucky since 1986. But the Wildcats ended the streak that year, and aside from a blowout in 2016, every game in the series has been a nailbiter since 2014.
This is a bit of a disappointing UK team. Coach Mark Stoops has consistently overachieved while in Lexington, but this year’s squad sits at just 3-5. Despite possessing a stiff defense, it hasn’t figured out the quarterback position, and the offense has struggled as a result.
Kentucky has the best pass defense in the SEC and a competent run game, but it will be shorthanded on Saturday, as 18 UK players are out for the game due to COVID-19.
The game kicks off at noon and will be televised on ESPN. You can stream it from the ESPN app.
