Kentucky Beats Florida at Home for First Time Since 1986

Rejoice, Wildcats fans: it finally happened.

For the first time since 1986, Kentucky has knocked off No. 10 Florida in Lexington, pulling off a 20–13 upset on Saturday. The Wildcats's defense stood tall in the second half, holding the Gators to just three points and stopping Florida on a fourth-and-goal play from inside the 10-yard line with just 22 seconds remaining to secure the win.

Kentucky's offense did just enough, as Florida outgained the Wildcats, 382–224. Kentucky took the lead in the third quarter on a blocked field goal that was returned 78 yards by Trevin Wallace for the touchdown.
