The Florida Gators (3-4) will embark on a second consecutive road trip as they head to Lexington, Kentucky to take on the Wildcats on Nov. 8 in search of their first win away from The Swamp this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The clash with Kentucky (2-5) will kick off at 7:30 p.m. on the SEC Network<\/a> in the Gators\u2019 fifth night game of the season. The Gators are 0-3 on the road and 1-3 in night games this season. In comparison, Kentucky is 2-3 at home and 1-3 at night.\u00a0Despite the primetime slot, the SEC on ABC game of the night will feature No. 4 Alabama vs. LSU.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Gators and Wildcats have squared off during each season since 1967, with the Gators holding a 54-20 all-time series advantage. The Gators won an SEC-record 31 consecutive matchups between 1987 and 2017. However, since 2017, Kentucky has won four of seven games between the two teams, including a vacated win in 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n On Sept. 22, the SEC announced that Florida and Kentucky would be permanent opponents<\/a> under the new SEC scheduling format. This decision confirms that the two teams will continue to play for at least the next four seasons.<\/p>\n If Kentucky is unable to pick up a win before facing Florida, the Wildcats will be in a must-win situation in order to stay in contention for a bowl game. Kentucky could miss the postseason for the second consecutive season, which would be the first time since a drought between 2011-2015. Winless in the SEC this season, the Wildcats have an opportunity with Auburn before facing off against the Gators, who head to Jacksonville Saturday for a showdown with No. 5 Georgia<\/a>.<\/p>\n Category: College Football<\/a>, Gators Football<\/a>, SEC<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Florida Gators (3-4) will embark on a second consecutive road trip as they head to Lexington, Kentucky…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":22924,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[28,6082,30,29,13527,4669,17667,62,3011],"class_list":["post-22923","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-florida","tag-florida","tag-florida-gators-football","tag-florida-headlines","tag-florida-news","tag-gators-sports","tag-georgia-bulldogs","tag-kentucky-wildcats-football","tag-sec","tag-sec-network"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22923","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22923"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22923\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22924"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22923"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22923"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22923"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
