What about the defense? Was UK really that improved or did UF phone it in on D? Or was it both? Something else?

UK was vastly improved and their overall team speed hasn't been seen in a blue uniform in many years. They are legit and late in the game with overtimes they still had some gas in the tank.
UF did not overlook UK and fought hard with lots of effort...so that wasn't the reason we struggled, they wanted the game badly after hearing a thousand times how its been 196 since they beat us etc etc
Gator defense has some youth in the secondary and at times a few mistakes were made...but its all teachable. On offense our starting LOT was out from last week and we struggled some with multiple changes. Yet we still could run effectively but pass blocking wasn't great.
I fully expect us to go into BDS and whip that azz good. Young Mr Sims will learn what a SEC defense looks like...feels like and tastes like. I expect a qb change after halftime....the crowd will be demanding it. Wont help. When we punt our punter may be flipping the field on yall...he avg 48.7 yesterday. UK to their credit didn't let us crank up our return game.

I think KY's defense is for real, and they have very good kickers. They had us pinned deep in our territory the entire first half. I think they lack depth, and started getting tired for the second half, but they are fast, and aggressive. They will give a lot of teams problems. We moved the ball, and got yardage and I would like to see how we do against other Ds to really have a feel on how improved we are on O. Only two games into a new system, and Jeff has only really played 1.5 yrs as a starter.

UK is a much improved team, and at the rate they are going, could be the most improved team in the country...but you can't discount their coach vs UF in that game. Stoops is the perfect coach to position a team to upset us. He is familiar with, not only, Muschamp's style Defense but Roper's Offense from coaching the D at FSU.
