The Kentucky alignment that made Jon Sumrall call a surprise onside kick
One of the key moments from Florida’s win over Kentucky was the failed onside kick from the Gators. Florida had just scored to take a 10-7 lead when it tried to spring a surprise onside kick. The attempt failed; Kentucky got the ball at the 45-yard line and promptly marched down for a touchdown. Thankfully, the moment didn’t cost the Gators, though online reaction was quite visceral.
After the game, Sumrall explained the thought process behind the attempt and if we are being fair, he wasn’t actually that crazy in trying it.
Florida failed onside kick attempt did have merit to it
