Just when you think you’ve seen it all, Saturday happens.
Florida’s comeback victory over Kentucky will be talked about for a long, long time. The Gators scored in the closing minutes on a blown coverage from Kentucky’s defense to win 28-27 and extend the streak to 31 games.
Florida scored two TDs in the fourth quarter, including the game-winner, to seal the comeback win. One of the highlights of the game was bringing in QB Luke Del Rio to replace starter Feleipe Franks.
The Gators have now had two thrilling wins in consecutive weeks, last week over Tennessee and this week over UK.
Here’s what Jim McElwain said after the game:

Mac on going to LDR: “We felt like we needed a jumpstart.”

McElwain says Freddie Swain “did some stuff that won’t show up in the box score. I’ll be surprised if he isn’t player of the game.” #Gators

Mac asked what the team has to be down in order to play their best. “Good question.”
