Florida football will look to snap a two-game losing streak when it plays at No. 13 Kentucky.
The Florida Gators (5-4, 3-4 SEC) are coming off a 23-7 loss to Oklahoma and have struggled offensively, scoring just two TDs over its last two games.
The game will serve as a matchup of first-year coaches, as Florida‘s Jon Sumrall will square off against Kentucky’s Will Stein. Both Sumrall and Stein coached in the College Football Playoff last year, with Sumrall as the head coach of Tulane and Stein as the offensive coordinator at Oregon.
The game also will serve as a homecoming for Sumrall, who was a former linebacker at Kentucky (2001-04) who also coached for the Wildcats as a graduate assistant (2005) and defensive assistant (2019-21).
Kentucky (7-2, 5-2 SEC) is coming off a 34-6 loss at No. 9 Tennessee.
