No. 22 Florida is back on the road for the first time since Week 1, set to take on an undefeated Kentucky team in Lexington on Saturday for the Gators' first non-evening kickoff of the 2023 season. 

The contest will mark at least a couple of firsts, regardless of the result.  

It is the first head-to-head matchup between quarterbacks who transferred into the SEC this offseason — Florida's Graham Mertz and Kentucky's Devin Leary. It will either end in the Wildcats' cementing their first three-game winning streak over the Gators since 1948-51, or Billy Napier's first SEC East victory in a non-home environment with UF.
