NO. 20 Florida Gators beat the Kentucky Wildcats for the 27th time straight.
Kentucky doesn’t give the Gators much contest even without QB Jeff Driskel. QB Tyler Murphy is back on the field making his first career start for Florida in Lexington, KY. On his starting debut, he passed for 156 yards and a touchdown and also rushed for a 5 yard touchdown
Florida had no problems moving the ball on Kentucky thanks to Murphy, who didn’t miss a beat in completing his first 11 passes and rushing for 36 yards something Kentucky just could not keep up with.
RB Matt Jones had an impressive day also, proving that when he gets the ball, he has a good chance of taking it a long ways. He rushed for 176 yards and a touchdown.
