At the Whistle: No. 13 Kentucky drops 2nd straight game with 21-14 loss to Florida

No. 13 Kentucky football dropped its second game in a row, falling 21-14 to Florida. This is the Cats third loss of the season, making a College Football Playoff appearance incredibly unlikely. With the Wildcats picking up their second loss of the season to Tennessee, Kentucky’s path to the playoffs became quite simple. Winning out would give the Wildcats a solid shot at their first College Football Playoff appearance, with convincing wins providing some extra insurance. The Wildcats needed to bounce back from the loss with a statement win in front of the home crowd. It was a gritty back-and-forth contest through the first three quarters, then the Wildcats offense went off the rails and the defense couldn’t stop the run or get off the field on third downs. The Gators took a seven-point lead six minutes into the fourth quarter, then forced a turnover on downs from the Wildcats.
