[Pulp Fiction]

Kentucky was the better team.

UK's offensive line played like an SEC caliber offensive line. We've had equal skill players a few seasons during the streak, but never had the O-line. The O-line was the difference this year.

Wilson's TD passes would have been sacks in previous years. This year though, our O-line gave up ZERO sacks & ZERO QB hurries.


The number of plays Florida normally scores on in previous years were stopped by UK's Defense. The type of 2 pt. conversion that Florida usually makes against UK was deflected in the same type of fashion Florida has done way too many times in the past. Josh Allen's deflection is the type of play Florida would have beat us on.

This was not a 'clean' game by any stretch, way too many dumb penalties & two too many turnovers on UK's part. Not gonna play the "we win by --- many more points, IF....." game. UK did cover the receivers though.

The field goal Florida missed is the type of break UK never gets. No matter if everybody else on the planet thought the kick was Good or not, the only person's opinion that mattered was the referee standing under the goal post. UK was always on the wrong side of calls like that in the past. The 2014 play clock hitting 0:00 on Florida in OT comes to mind.






YEARS & YEARS of suffering have finally..... YEARS & YEARS of being outmatched at every position on the field have finally ended..... YEARS & YEARS of watching the Cats find the worst way possible to lose to Florida finally ended...… YEARS & YEARS of having to see how life was in 1986 finally ended...… YEARS & YEARS of saying "that's so Kentucky football" have finally ended.

It's a new day in the Commonwealth.
