When is Florida football vs Kentucky? See ticket prices, prediction

Scoring has come at a premium for the Florida football team over its two-game losing streak. The Gators have one more big challenge ahead in the regular season, and it's not one anyone saw coming before the year began.

The Gators head to Kentucky, who remains on the cusp of a stunning SEC championship game appearance. The Wildcats (7-2, 5-2) are off to their best start since 2018 under first-year coach Will Stein. Their chances of sneaking into the College Football Playoff took a big hit when their six-game winning streak ended with a 34-6 loss last week at Tennessee.

Florida has fallen to 5-4 (3-4) in its first season under Jon Sumrall amid a 1-4 slide since October began. They could manage only a Jadan Baugh touchdown in a 23-7 loss to Oklahoma in which the Gators put up just 203 yards of offense. Tramell Jones Jr. completed fewer than half of his passes and threw two interceptions.

Florida vs Kentucky prediction

Kentucky's rise to the top of the SEC has been baffling considering they rank 10th in the SEC in scoring offense, 10th in scoring defense, 10th in total offense and 12th in total defense. One big thing that's helped is their ability to force turnovers: The Wildcats have 18 takeaways this year, tied for sixth-most in the nation, and their four picks against John Mateer helped them win a weird game at Oklahoma four weeks ago.

Tramell Jones has thrown five INTs this year, including three over the Gators' current two-game losing streak. UF's turnover margin of -3 slots them in the bottom third of FBS. If Jadan Baugh and the run game can recover its mojo from earlier in the year, the Gators could do what Tennessee did to the Wildcats last week (240 yards, three TDs on the ground), but until it shows signs of life, it's too much to expect that.

With CJ Baxter leading the way, Kentucky has the SEC's sixth-ranked run game, one spot behind Florida. Theirs has been more sustained over the course of the season; even in last week's blowout loss, UK still ran for 3.7 yards per carry against the Vols, as opposed to UF's 2.8 ypc vs. Oklahoma. UF ranks 12th in the SEC in giving up 134.7 rushing yards per game, not a great stat especially when hitting the road.

Prediction: Kentucky 31, Florida 20
