No. 1 Florida Gators (3-0, 1-0 SEC) vs. Kentucky Wildcats (2-0, 0-0)
What Happened Last Week
Florida opened its 2009 SEC play with a 23-13 win over Eastern division rival, Tennessee. It wasn’t the royal beating that a good majority of Gator fans wanted to see, but the end result was a win; and that’s what is most important. Florida comes in ranked number one in the country and is unbeaten in SEC conference play.
Florida has beaten Kentucky 22 years in a row, and this is the third time Florida has been ranked number one when playing Kentucky.
Kentucky comes into their 2009 matchup with Florida unbeaten, after an opening weekend win over Miami (Ohio), which was followed by a third straight win over in-state rival Louisville.
Kentucky is unranked when playing Florida for the ninth time in the last ten years.
Florida will win if…
They Develop a Tempo on Offense early
Finding a tempo Saturday night is going to be ideal for Florida, who has gone to a no-huddle offense at times this season. Florida needs to dictate the tempo up front on offense, utilizing a big offensive line and a good stable of running backs to set the pace of the game and to take pressure off of the young guys who are stepping in at receiver.
If something/someone on offense is clicking, the Gators need to stick with it until the defense can’t stop it/them anymore.
