Philo Leads Florida Past No. 11 Kentucky

Aaron Philo returned to Florida’s starting lineup and led the Gators to a 21-14 road upset of No. 11 Kentucky, completing 16 of 24 passes for 119 yards and rushing for 102 yards. His two-yard touchdown run with 9:08 remaining put Florida ahead, and he helped set up Jadan Baugh’s scoring run and added a two-point conversion. Florida’s defense held Kentucky to 156 yards after its opening touchdown drive. The win ended Florida’s recent slide, made the Gators bowl-eligible at 6-4, and marked a response for Philo after he had been benched following the Georgia loss; Kentucky’s defeat damaged its playoff hopes and dropped the Wildcats in the SEC standings.
