Kentucky running back Kavosiey Smoke and his Wildcat teammates smoked the Florida Gators Saturday for 20-13 victory, for their first home victory over the Gators since 1986.

Smoke may have had the block of the year so far in college football when he basically ran over a Gator defender to help teammate Wan’Dale Robinson on a touchdown.

His block caught the attention of ESPN’s Jeff Saturday and the crew on the morning show “Get Up.”

“Boom!,” Saturday said. “Get some little man. Are you serious, oh my goodness. He don’t even slow down, he just keeps on, boom!”

As you can tell Saturday, who used to play with Peyton Manning in Indianapolis, was clearly excited by the play of the young running back.

After seeing the play, you can understand why.
