And they seem confident about this matchup and determined to play their best game of the season, which is it will probably take. “They had one big play in the game, and I’m really disappointed in that one”.

The University of Kentucky football team’s losing streak to Florida reached 29 consecutive games Saturday night as the Gators outlasted the Wildcats 14-9 at Commonwealth Stadium in Lexington.
Powell’s injury trims Florida’s list of fully healthy scholarship linebackers to just four – starters Jarrad Davis and Antonio Morrison and reserves Daniel McMillian and Rayshad Jackson – for the forseeable future. Kentucky has held ULL and South Carolina to a combined 115.3 passer rating in the first two games, so the Gators may not want to going cold with a rotation. Coach McElwain didn’t have a timetable for his return, but it is important to note that Anzalone has had shoulder issues in the past.
In addition, Regie Meant was upgraded from doubtful to questionable on Monday and expects to see limited action against the Tigers.
“The talent is there”, said Stoops. “He’ll be in there getting ready to go this week”.
Offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson didn’t mince a lot of words about his unit or himself after Saturday night’s 14-9 loss to Florida.
Northwestern State (0-3), which plays at the Football Championship Subdivision level, had 257 total yards. But, the important thing is that we make more than them. He does some very good things.
Said Doering when I texted him Saturday before the game: “There are certain games you look at on the schedule as a player that you just assume you’re going to win, and Kentucky was one of those teams when I was at Florida”.
The blame cant’ be placed exclusively on Towles. When is the last time both of the Gators’ offensive tackles were freshmen?
It doesn’t matter who’s coaching – Spurrier or Zook, Muschamp or McElwain – Florida always finds a way to beat Kentucky. United Kingdom has probably a half dozen guys capable of making such plays on the defensive side. The kickoff return team has not helped much either. A byproduct, which Stoops thinks is the result of entering games a bit too amped up.
“I thought it was a little of an overreaction, but I do understand coaching”, Fred Taylor said in a radio interview relayed by the Sunday. The 5-foot-11, 216-pound RB had racked up 164 yards and three touchdowns through two games. McElwain, in his first season, told reporters he regretted the outburst but Taylor (109 yards rushing, two scores) has dropped to third string on the depth chart.
Kentucky is 2-5 in their last seven games, 2-7 against the spread following a loss, and 7-19 against the spread in their last 26 SEC games.

“We brought it up”, Stoops said. “In his practice and his approach”.
