Comments
It’s Mark Stoops vs. Dan Mullen in Lexington. This is our first SEC match between two evenly rated teams. The outcome of this game will tell us a lot. We’d probably pick Kentucky this week if it weren’t for their starting QB Terry Wilson being out for the season. We have a new QB in redshirt junior Troy graduate transfer Sawyer Smith going against a pretty stout Gator defense. Doesn’t seem fair but that’s football. You never know though, Smith might tear up the Gator defense but he’s never gone against a defense as strong as Florida’s.
