Florida vs. Kentucky: Info, Odds, Where to Watch and More

Everything you need to know ahead of Florida vs. Kentucky in Week 5.

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.
