Jo-Jo Kemp's prediction didn't help our cause for the upset victory one bit.
Florida has a lopsided victory in the books and a measuring-stick matchup on the horizon. So playing Kentucky could be a trap game for the Gators.
Florida (1-0) has won 27 in a row against the Wildcats, the longest active streak in an uninterrupted series in major college football. The Gators haven’t lost to Kentucky since 1986 and haven’t dropped a home game in the series since 1979.
Since no current Florida player has experienced losing to Kentucky — not even during last season’s 4-8 debacle — the Gators seemingly have reason to overlook the Wildcats heading into Saturday night’s Southeastern Conference opener for both teams. Throw in that Florida might still be basking in last week’s 65-0 drubbing of Eastern Michigan and has a road trip to Alabama up next, and it might be the perfect time for Kentucky (2-0) to pull a shocker.
The Gators insist it won’t happen. Kentucky running back Jojo Kemp may have helped keep the Gators focused. Kemp predicted a victory in The Swamp,” telling the Louisville Courier-Journal this week that “it’s going to be fun walking out with a victory and rubbing it in their faces.”
His words quickly made their way to Gainesville, where linebacker Michael Taylor responded on Twitter by posting “oh jo-joooooo” and following up with “what number is this ja ja fool???”
Taylor later told reporters Kemp’s comments provided little extra incentive for the game.
“After the season we had last year, there’s no extra motivation needed,” Taylor said. “This whole summer, hearing all that stuff and seeing the results of last year, no extra motivation is needed.”
