Florida Gators interim head coach Billy Gonzales will have his first game of the season at his new position this weekend, but UF has plenty more games left on the schedule to finish out the year. After UF’s rivalry game in Jacksonville this weekend, the Gators are on the road the following weekend against Kentucky. Over a week out from that week 11 matchup, the SEC announced kickoff times and broadcast channels on Monday.

The Florida Gators will travel to Lexington for a night game

The Florida Gators will hit the road on November 8 for a 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff against the Kentucky Wildcats. The game will also be broadcast on the SEC Network.

The Florida Gators sit at 3-4 on the season, but have a tough test this coming weekend in Jacksonville against the No. 5-ranked Georgia Bulldogs. Florida’s four losses this season came at the hands of USF, LSU, Miami, and Texas A&M. Three of those four games were on the road.

The Florida Gators lead the all-time series against Kentucky by a margin of 54 wins compared to 20 losses. Florida hosted the Wildcats last weekend in The Swamp, winning 48-20. In their last three meetings, Kentucky has one two out of three matchups.

This season, the Wildcats sit at 2-5 on the year, heading into a matchup this weekend against Auburn. Kentucky currently rides a four-game losing streak before its road game against the Tigers.
