Kentucky has not beat Florida since 1986. This is one of the longest losing streaks in the nation, if not the longest. Things are going to be different this year I think Kentucky will pull off the upset.
Florida vs. Kentucky prediction. Florida 17 Kentucky 21 The streak ends.

As always on Thursday saturdaydownsouth.com comes out with there weekly predictions.
#19 Florida (-13) at Kentucky
Jon: We’ll see how Tyler Murphy handles his first start and road start, and without DT Dominique Easley, could Kentucky make this a football game. You better believe it. But I like Florida to win and cover. Florida 28, Kentucky 13
Kevin: Florida handles Kentucky like usual. Tyler Murphy will have a few mishaps, but overall will do what he needs to do. Kentucky’s offense struggles against Florida’s defense. Florida 24, Kentucky 10.

I know Florida has the #1 ranked defense in the country, but they really haven’t played anybody with a high profile offense. Kentucky has the ability to score and score often, although against this Florida defense that will be a difficult task. If Max Smith is healthy, and by all indications he is, Kentucky will be able to throw a lot of different things at Florida using the 2 quarterback system the way they did against Louisville which should lead to some scoring opportunities.
I have watched Florida play twice this season and they are not a very good offensive team. I hate to see any player get hurt, but I think Florida will be a better team with Tyler Murphy at quarterback.
I think 26 years is enough, Mark Stoops and company will come out Saturday night ready to play and end the streak.
Kentucky 21
Florida 17
