The first half of the Florida Gators football game against the Kentucky Wildcats in The Swamp is in the books and it did not quite go as well as many had expected, but had no shortage of excitement either. After the first 30 minutes of play, UF leads UK by a score of 14-10 heading into the locker room.
Florida’s offense sputtered while the defense continued to look suspect against the Wildcats so far — without two big plays this game could be a lot uglier for Gators fans. Everything seemingly went Kentucky’s way, as they controlled the ball and the clock throughout the first two frames of play. If not for a big catch by Kyle Pitts and an amazing punt return for a touchdown by Kadarius Toney, it would be a sad day for the Gator Nation.
Here is a look at six major points from the first half of play.
