Florida vs Kentucky Matchup History: Who leads the all-time series in football?

Florida and Kentucky will face off for the 75th time in football this Saturday inside The Swamp. Kick-off will be at 7:45 PM.

Florida leads the all-time series 53-20, including a 31-game winning streak from 1987 until 2017.

The following have been the last ten games in the series:

2014 - Florida wins 36-30 in Triple OT

Only once since 2003 had Florida not won this matchup by at least 20 points, but the 2014 contest was the first sign Kentucky was about to be a thorn in Florida's side.

Florida missed two field goals in the fourth quarter and had to convert 4th and 7 in the first OT to keep the game alive. Matt Jones score a touchdown in the third OT to finally put the game away.

2015 - Florida wins 14-9

Will Grier had a pedestrian 13/22 passing night for 125 yards and one interception, but Florida's defense held Patrick Towels to 8/24 passing for 126 yards and two interceptions.

Florida had two rushing touchdowns to Kentucky's three field goals to walk away with the win.

2016 - Florida wins 45-7

Order was restored as Luke Del Rio threw for four touchdowns and 320 yards. Antonio Callaway had five catches for 129 yards and a touchdown, while Lamical Perine ran for 105 yards and had a receiving touchdown.

2017 - Florida wins 28-27

The Gators were dead in the water in this game and had fallen behind 27-14 with 11:33 to play. Feleipe Franks was benched in the 3rd quarter for Luke Del Rio.

This game is best remembered for Kentucky leaving Freddie Swain wide open with less than a minute to play, creating the easiest pitch and catch TD in this history of football.

2018 - Kentucky wins 27-16

The night the Wildcats finally slayed the dragon, Benny Snell ran for 175 yards off 27 carries and Terry Wilson was 11/16 passing for 151 yards as Kentucky put up 20 points in the second half.

Evan McPherson missed a field goal, Franks threw an interception, and the Gators simply ran out of time to try and complete a comeback as they got the ball back down 21-16, but only had 29 seconds to try and go 94 yards.

2019 - Florida wins 29-21

The night Kyle Trask was born was the night Franks broke his leg. Down 21-10, Trask helped engineer a 19 point 4th quarter as Florida stormed back to stun Kentucky.

This game featured Swain being left wide open once again and Florida having to survive a 35-yard missed field goal from Kentucky with 54 seconds left before Josh Hammond ran for 76 yards to put the game away.

2020- Florida wins 34-10

A somewhat forgettable game, Florida did trail late in the second quarter before Kadarius Toney returned a punt for a touchdown for a 14-10 halftime lead.

Florida put the game away in the third quarter with two touchdowns from Kyle Pitts. Trask ended the night with 256 yards passing and three touchdowns.

2021 - Kentucky wins 20-13

The night nothing went right for Florida, the Gators held Will Levis to 7/17 passing for 87 yards. The turning point of the game was in the third quarter when Florida had a field goal attempt blocked and returned for a touchdown.

The Gators got down to the five yards line with under a minute to play and a chance to tie, but turned the ball over on downs and gave Kentucky the win.

This win was later vacated due to sanctions on Kentucky.

2022 - Kentucky wins 26-16

The night nothing went right for Florida, part two. Coming off the win over Utah, Kentucky felt like an afterthought. But much like the year before, a pick-six from Anthony Richardson was the turning point.

It was the first time since 1977 Kentucky had won two straight games against the Gators.

2023 - Kentucky wins 33-14

Not since 1979 had Florida lost to Kentucky by such a wide margin. The Gators looked non-competitive from the first snap off the bus as Ray Davis ran for 280 yards and three touchdowns.

It was the first time since 1951 that Kentucky had won three straight games against the Gators.
