Wildcats run through the Florida Gators 33-14

The Florida Gators (3-2, 1-2) lost to the Kentucky Wildcats (5-0, 2-0) 33-14 on Saturday afternoon in Lexington.

Florida’s offense struggled to do anything on the ground and that forced the Gators to rely on the passing game and allowed Kentucky to get a lot of pressure on Graham Mertz.

Kentucky’s offense rolled as running back Ray Davis had a career day as he scored three first-half touchdowns.
