The Florida Gators followed a ho-hum performance at Vanderbilt with here-we-go-again against Kentucky.
Kadarius Toney’s 50-yard punt return for a touchdown swung the momentum in Florida’s favor and effectively shut the door on Kentucky’s upset bid during the Gators’ 34-10 win.
Quarterback Kyle Trask and tight end Kyle Pitts, back from a two-game absence, soon took over as coach Dan Mullen’s squad cruised to its fifth consecutive win to stay on track for an SEC title game bid and avoid another stunning home loss to Kentucky coach Mark Stoops’ squad.
The Wildcats’ last trip to Gainesville ended with a 27-16 win that snapped a 31-game losing streak in the series and signaled much work lay ahead for Mullen.
