An improving Florida defense gets another favorable matchup as they face Kentucky’s struggling offense. Kentucky’s offense has been underwhelming in SEC play, scoring only four touchdowns in four games against South Carolina, Georgia, Ole Miss, and Vanderbilt. While the Wildcats have led in rushing yardage in all six games this season, their ground game isn’t particularly strong, ranking 75th nationally and 11th in the SEC with 153.3 yards per game.
The Wildcats’ passing game is even weaker, ranking 121st nationally and 15th in the SEC with just 168.3 yards per game. Quarterback Brock Vandagriff has struggled, and the offensive line has allowed 2.67 sacks per game, ranking 106th in the country.
For the Florida Gators, the defensive strategy should focus on:
- Stopping Kentucky’s run-first approach
- Pressuring Vandagriff and exploiting the weak pass protection
- Building an early lead to force Kentucky out of their comfort zone
The Gators’ defense should load the box, tackle effectively, and be aggressive. By shutting down Kentucky’s limited offense, Florida can control the game and secure a victory.
