Continue the Defensive Dominance

Kentucky has had quite the bend but don’t break attitude to their defense so far in 2017. They allow, on average, 347 yards per game, but they only allow 15 points per game. The two defenses in this Kentucky vs Florida game on Saturday will be the main key to victory.

Florida has been known for their defense for a while now, so we already know they will bring their best effort. But Kentucky has actually been known for their defensive faults in recent years. Not this year, though. The Cats are showing they have an incredibly talented defense, and must keep that rolling on Saturday.

Obviously, Kentucky will need to score points to win. Assuming, though, that points will come few and far between, the Wildcat’s defense will need to prove their strength and not allow Florida to cross that threshold very often.

Another big key to victory is the home crowd. The game is already sold out and can guarantee to be extremely loud as Kentucky tries the break their 30 game losing streak to Florida. So, if you’re going to the game, make sure to be as loud as possible! Go Cats!
