Florida Gators face Wildcats in Kentucky

The Gators have won 28 straight games against the Wildcats. Will this be the Wildcats year?

The Florida Gators and Kentucky Wildcats will match up this Saturday, September 19, 2015, at 7:30 p.m. ET at Commonwealth Stadium. The game will be broadcast live on the SEC Network. Florida hasn’t lost to Kentucky since 1987. The score for these two teams have gotten closer over the past few seasons, and this could be the year the Wildcats finally beat Florida. Kentucky barely lost in The Swamp last year and it now possesses the home field advantage this time around. Kentucky’s rushing attack has been very efficient so far. In two games, it’s averaged 192.5 yards per game. Stanley Williams is a big part of the rushing success in averaging 10.1 yards per carry and 242 total yards. The Wildcats will have their work cut out for them on the ground on Saturday. The Kentucky passing game is just as productive as the running attack and that is a big part of their early success. Kentucky has failed to record a touchdown in the red zone twice, but they notched field goals rather than squandering an opportunity. Their running game is the big key to the success as four of the teams five red zone touchdowns have come on the ground. With a balanced offense, they can also counter the Florida defense which thrives against the run, but has had some issues defending the pass. The Gators two games this year have exceeded as the offense has over performed expectations. They have struggled a bit defensively against East Carolina. Florida head coach Jim McElwain survived the first true test of his tenure in a 31-24 win over East Carolina, but now he gets his first taste of SEC football. The Gators strong defense only allowed just two touchdowns in five red zone chances thus far. The Gators rank Number 3  in rushing defense, allowing just 1.16 yards per carry and 25.5 yards per game. The Gators still needs to establish a starting quarterback. The two quarterback system is working so far against lesser defenses, but we’ll see how it works out in SEC play.
