Ray Davis ran wild in Kentucky's 33-14 win over No. 22 Florida.
In all, Kentucky rushed for 329 yards in the win. And the 280 yards from Davis were the second-most rushing yards Florida has ever allowed by a single player. Only the 287-yard outing from LSU’s Tyrion Davis-Price in 2021 topped Davis. In the process, Davis surged past familiar names like Herschel Walker , Marcus Lattimore and Willis McGahee .
Kentucky needed a big effort from the ground attack as quarterback Devin Leary struggled, completing only 9-of-20 attempts for 69 yards and a touchdown. Drops by Kentucky receivers didn’t help Leary’s cause, but it was still an uneven performance from the UK passing attack. The Kentucky defense, meanwhile, limited Florida to only 69 rushing yards on 29 attempts. With the inability to run the ball, Florida had to go to the air. Graham Mertz went 25-of-30 for 244 yards and two scores, but he also threw an interception in the first half that allowed UK to build an early lead.
Kentucky improved to 5-0 with the win and has a trip to Athens to face No. 1 Georgia next week. Florida fell to 3-2 on the year and will look to bounce back next week at home vs. Vanderbilt.
