One of the Gators’ biggest issues against Kentucky was the lack of a deep passing game. They didn’t attempt a single pass that traveled more than 20 yards downfield. Even when factoring in yards after catch, their longest completion went for just 22 yards, and that happened in the first quarter.
They essentially played that game in a 15-yard box, which made them predictable and easy to defend. That led to a horrendous offensive showing and an upset loss.
It became clear early on that the No. 20 Gators weren’t going to repeat that performance against Vanderbilt on Saturday.
