Florida v Kentucky 2017

Florida v Kentucky 9/23/17

1. Overall Series Record: 50-17 FLA
2. Current winning streak 30 - FLA (1987-2016) that is 3 decades!
3. Fun Fact about the AP poll... we have been ranked for 586 weeks, 41 of which we were #1... Kentucky has been ranked for only 78 weeks ever... and has NEVER been ranked #1. (They are NOT ranked this week)
4. In 1991 we beat Kentucky @ home for our FIRST SEC CHAMPIONSHIP. 
5. Player to watch: #89 Tyrie Cleveland - Sophomore WR from Houston TX, most recently notable for his 63 yard Hail Mary catch in the last seconds of last weeks game. ALSO (as a freshman) caught a 98 yard TD last year against LSU... you remember that one: 2016 Cleveland TD @ LSU

Bonus Repeats:

6. Florida's first SEC Championship was clinched by a 1984 win at Kentucky. 

Note: It was later stripped of course due to NCAA rule violations (106 violations specifically, thanks Charlie Pell).

Who led the charge to strip Florida of its SEC title? Tennessee. Ugh. 

7. Things you didn't know about Kentucky:

Bear Bryant, THE Bear Bryant (Alabama), is the winningest coach in Kentucky football history.
