Florida football secured yet another big road win in Week 11, upsetting the Kentucky Wildcats in Lexington, 21-14, to become bowl-eligible for the second time in the last four years.
After the game's final horn sounded, the Gator Nation and other college football fans logged onto social media to celebrate Florida's huge upset victory on Saturday night.
Additional details
- Adam Dubbin GOOD: Aaron Philo was having some trouble getting his team downfield with his arm, so instead, he resorted to his legs — much like we saw with Oklahoma's John Mateer last week in the Swamp.
- BAD: The onside kick call in the third quarter may have shown some cojones on Sumrall's part, but it backfired spectacularly as Kentucky quickly scored its second touchdown of the night.
- Two snaps into the third quarter, Woods stripped Kenny Minchey, Brendan Bett fell on the ball at the Kentucky 30, and suddenly Florida had a short field and a chance to take the lead.
- Florida's quarterback finished with 102 yards on the ground in a Tebow-esque performance, leading his team to victory and clinching a bowl berth for the program.
