BOZICH | Beating Florida not as tough as Kentucky makes it look

QuoteNow Florida has defeated Kentucky 27 straight. It's the second longest active winning streak in one series in college football. Penn State has beaten Temple 30 in a row.

If the Gators handle UK again Saturday night in Gainesville (and they're favored by 18 1/2 points), they will equal Texas' 28 straight wins over Rice for the seventh longest series winning streak of all time.

Florida has played 344 games since losing to Kentucky, 10-3, on Nov. 15, 1986 in Commonwealth Stadium. They have lost 89 times – 26 percent of those games.

Louisville needed one chance to beat a Florida team that Kentucky had not defeated since November, 1986. The Cards needed only one crack to join a list that includes Memphis, Syracuse and Georgia Southern – teams that have defeated Florida since the 1986 season.

Sullivan: 'Bulletin-board material' overrated

Mark Stoops went from zero to "furious" as if his temper were Top Fuel drag racing. He blew past "irked" and "annoyed" and "miffed" and "steamed" the way Jojo Kemp might so many tackling dummies, before finally coming to rest at "outraged."

The University of Kentucky's head football coach reacted to Kemp's playful prediction of victory Saturday at Florida much as baking soda reacts to vinegar: explosively. He interpreted the running back's statement — "It's going to be fun walking out with a victory and rubbing it in their faces" — as a dangerous breach of decorum and potential bulletin-board material.


QuoteFootball coaches tend to agonize about that sort of thing and, simultaneously, to study opponents' statements for rhetorical fuel. Less than 24 hours after Kemp had talked out of turn following UK's Tuesday practice, the Florida native's image and most incendiary sentence had been turned into a poster that already was on display in the Gators' dressing room.

How much any of that might affect Saturday night's game in Gainesville is probably none. Florida has won 27 straight games against Kentucky, is favored this time by between 17 and 18½ points and needs another motivational chip on its shoulder pads the way Adam Levine needs another tattoo.

Loose lips might sink ships, but if there is evidence of the effect of pregame trash talk on football games, it is mostly anecdotal and likely exaggerated. For every victorious team that crows about the disrespect it had been shown by a vanquished opponent, there is a vanquished opponent feeling disrespect from the victorious team. Though coaches are quick to seize on perceived slights (and have been known to fabricate them in a pinch), few players are capable of changing a game with their mouths.

"If you asked me 25 years ago, a bulletin-board thing might move the point spread two or three points in some cases because it was so rare," Las Vegas oddsmaker Jimmy Vaccaro said Wednesday. "Now everybody's doing it. ...

"Those things are so overblown anymore. With all of the social media, if you try to follow all those things, it will make your head spin."

Vaccaro, who sets odds for the South Point Casino sports book, cited Notre Dame's 31-0 victory over Michigan last week as an example of the dubious value of extra incentive. Two days before the last game of a series Notre Dame had unilaterally ended, ostensibly for scheduling reasons, the Fighting Irish announced a home-and-home with Michigan's fiercest rival, Ohio State.

If the Wolverines were offended by this apparent snub, their pursuit of payback was pathetic...

Large for momentum: MacGinnis hits the 35-yarder as time expires and it's Kentucky 3, Florida 3 at halftime in The Swamp. Surprised?

Towles threw a poor interception.  Stopped UK early in the 3rd.

Did you really click on the "report to moderator" button.  And not only that but do it on yourself?

Maybe it's both.

So Roper hasn't settled Driskell down and Stoops has Kentucky with a pulse?

If Florida loses this game, Muschamp will be fired. Mark it down.

Wouldn't be an upset in my book. But it may cost Mustache his job.

Now UF has assumed the '13 Auburn role.

Sucks we can't play either one of these teams.  Neither of their offenses scare me one bit.

Yeah sad, but I really wouldn't consider it an upset either.  Muschamp hasn't proven that he can handle being a coach.   He is a good defensive coordinator, but he hasn't shown anything as far as a head coach. 
If a man speaks and no woman is around to hear him, is he still wrong?

UK's on a bit of an upswing.  They've recruited well and appear to be coached well

Kentucky looks like a solid team.

Florida is not where they should be. Muschamp is going to be in hot water by the end of the year.

Wish we had Florida this year instead of last.

They sucked last year also.  We just didn't take advantage of it.

He will be fired if he can't get to at least 8 wins in my opinion.   I was very surprised they kept him last year after losing to a division 2 team and going 4-8.

Fans are stunned.

I'm a little stunned myself, but I guess I shouldn't be.  Muschamp gonna Muschamp.
