Kentucky is 4-0 and still looking for its first complete game of the season. Saturday would be a good time to put that together with Florida coming to town. They know they can beat Florida now and that means a lot and that wasn't always the case.

Kentucky did what they had to do at Vandy to get to the Florida game 4-0.
