Overview
- Florida rallied for a 21-14 win at Kroger Field on Saturday, Nov. 14, with Aaron Philo rushing for the go-ahead 2-yard touchdown and finishing with 221 total yards.
- Florida’s only first-half points came from a safety on an in-end-zone holding penalty against Kentucky, and two successful two-point conversions proved decisive in the final margin.
- Two plays into the second half Jayden Woods forced a Kenny Minchey fumble that gave Florida possession at the Kentucky 30 and set up Jaden Baugh’s touchdown, his SEC-leading 15th of the season.
- Florida’s defense held Kentucky to 61 rushing yards and made late stops that prevented Kentucky from converting key fourth-down opportunities.
- The result makes Florida bowl eligible at 6-4 and effectively ends Kentucky’s realistic path to the College Football Playoff, shifting postseason momentum for both programs.
