The last time the Big Blue Nation left Kroger Field happy after an SEC gasme was following a 33-14 win over Florida when the Cats jumped out to a 23-0 lead before putting the game on cruise control. All UK needed to do was to play the Gators again at home to produce a big home win.
In an outright victory as a three-point home dog, Kentucky jumped out to a 31-7 lead highlighted by a 21-0 Middle Eight blitz that would only balloon to a 38-7 lead before the clock hit triple-digits. This was the program’s largest margin of victory in an SEC game since Tim Couch was slinging the ball around the yard for head coach Hal Mumme and offensive coordinator Mike Leach in 1998.
