LEXINGTON, Ky.-- The Florida Gators are looking to do something the program has not done since 2019: win a game at Kentucky.

Fresh off a loss against Georgia, the Gators sit at 3-5 and one loss away from surpassing its total from last season. However, Florida is confident they can replicate last season's 48-20 defeat of the Wildcats, snapping a three-game losing streak in the series while sparking a turnaround to end the 2025 season.

"Tough place to play and we got them night again. So it's going to be a tough challenge, but we're excited to take the team up there and get ready to go play," interim head coach Billy Gonzales said. "We're excited to get a chance to put the pads on and accept the challenge and give it everything we have."
