The Florida Gators are looking to avoid their first three-game losing streak to the Kentucky Wildcats since the 1950s, but the boys in Orange and Blue will have to get the job done on the road.
It’s a tall order, but the Gators have already passed one major test by beating Tennessee two weeks ago. The Volunteers are generally considered to be a stronger team than the Wildcats, which means UF should have a chance to win a fourth game in a row.
Graham Mertz has been solid so far for Florida at quarterback, and the running game is the engine that drives that machine. The defense has taken a couple of massive steps forward, largely in part to a front seven that’s caused a ton of pressure.
That said, Kentucky’s defense can cause teams to deviate from the plan, which usually means turnovers.
Here are five things to look for when Florida faces Kentucky on the road Saturday.
