My instinct was to give this piece the headline, “Three keys to Florida getting back on track against Kentucky”. Then I stopped. Back on what track?
The Gators just beat Vanderbilt 38-17 and gained almost 600 yards in the process. The offense may have had some uncharacteristic execution issues — how many times have you seen Kyle Trask throw an eight-yard pass directly at a target’s feet? — but it wasn’t getting stopped by a bad Vandy defense. After the defense started playing less soft in the secondary and pressured the quarterback more, it was a 31-7 rout the rest of the way.
