https://247sports.com/college/florida/board/14/contents/floridakentucky-pregame-notes--135439920/
- Florida has won six consecutive games for the first time since its seven-game winning streak since 2015, when it won the Birmingham Bowl on Jan. 3 and started the 2015 sesaon 6-0.
• Florida’s loss against Kentucky last year --
Dan Mullen’s second game as head coach -- snapped its 31-game winning streak in the series. It was the Gators’ first loss to Kentucky since Nov. 15, 1986, when they lost 10-3 in Lexington.
• UF has not lost consecutive games to Kentucky since 1976 and 1977.
• The Gators are seeking a second consecutive 10-win campaign for the first time since posting 13 wins in both 2008 -- Mullen’s final year as offensive coordinator -- and 2009.
• Florida’s 15 sacks lead all FBS teams by three, and its 26 tackles for loss rank second nationally, just two behind FBS-leading UCF (28). Only four FBS teams have more than nine sacks, and only six teams have more than 20 TFLs.
• The Gators needed five full games to reach 15 sacks last year, and they took seven games to rack up 26 TFLs last year.
•
Jabari Zuniga is Florida’s top disrupter, as he leads the SEC with 3 sacks and 4.5 tackles for loss.
• Zuniga is tied for third nationally in tackles for loss and tied for sixth nationally in sacks. Zuniga, Illinois’
Oluwole Betiku Jr., Charlotte’s Alex Highsmith, and Michigan State’s
Kenny Willekes are the only FBS players with at least 3 sacks and 4 tackles for loss this season.
• Florida is one of three FBS teams featuring multiple players with at least 3.5 tackles for loss (Zuniga,
Jeremiah Moon). The others are North Carolina and South Florida.
• UF is the only SEC team featuring four players with 1.5 sacks -- Zuniga,
Jonathan Greenard,
Ventrell Miller, Trey Dean III -- and is the only SEC team with five players with at least 2 tackles for loss -- Miller, Moon, Zuniga,
Kyree Campbell.
• Florida’s 10 sacks in its Week 0 win over Miami were the highest total by an SEC team since Nov. 28, 2008, when Ole Miss had 10 against Mississippi State. It marked just the eighth game of 10-plus sacks by any FBS team since the start of the 2015 season. Last year, Army (10 against Houston - Dec. 22) was the only FBS team with 10 in a game.
•
The Gators have 500-plus yards of total offense in four of their last six games (Miami [304] and Michigan [427] are the only outliers). Florida had just three games of 500-plus yards from 2015-17, and only ve such games from 2011-14.
• UF already has three passing plays of 60-plus yards this year, its highest total since finishing 2016 with three such plays.
