Another rough night for the UK football program.

The Kentucky Wildcats traveled to Gainesville for a date with the Florida Gators as they looked to pick up their fourth straight win over the Gators. Well, that didn’t even come close to happening as the Cats got blasted, dropping their second straight game, 48-20.

Ultimately, the first half for UK featured all the woes that the BBN has expressed over the last few weeks. From dropped passes to some questionable play-calls and how we can forget the penalties, the Cats once again couldn’t get out of their own way on the offensive side of the ball. Add that in with the first poor performance from this Kentucky defense, and it led to a 14-point deficit heading into the half. (PS thank you, Barion Brown)

Coming out of the half, the Cats put together a solid drive that seemed like the team was ready to show some fight after an atrocious first half.

Well, despite that effort, the offense regressed back to the mean throughout the remainder of the half en route to a blowout.

With five games left, Kentucky now has its backs against the wall and has very little room to wiggle out.

Overall, the BBN saw another step backward tonight. Not much else to say.

Box Score


Game MVP

This game was ugly. It was really ugly on both sides of the ball, but if we are going to give this to anyone, I think it has to go to Barion Brown.

Yes, his drop that led to a Brock Vandagriff interception was ugly, but overall, his two touchdowns were the only juice this Kentucky team had brought the entire night.

He finished with two receptions for 56 yards and a touchdown while also adding 115 yards and a touchdown in the return game.

If the Cats hope to make any noise to end the season, it will be Brown who needs to step up and help propel this Kentucky offense.
