Wildcats look to vanquish first SEC opponent of the season in Gainesville

Following a 37-13 victory in its season opener against Miami Ohio, Kentucky looks to compound the victory into a win streak heading into its first road game of the season.

The Wildcats are slated to travel to Gainesville, Florida, to duke it out with the newly No. 12 ranked Florida Gators in “The Swamp.”

While Kentucky may be fresh off a victory over the Gators in 2021, the Cats enter the game as a six-point underdog for a multitude of reasons.

First, Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, also dubbed “The Swamp,” is regarded by some to be one of the toughest places in the SEC to play due to the hostile atmosphere created by home fans, not to mention the stadium having its nickname for a reason, with the heat and humidity of Gainesville creating a swamp-like atmosphere that many fail to adjust to.
