Wildcats quarterback Sawyer Smith is about to get a face full of a Gators defense that leads the nation in sacks with 15. Gators quarterback Feleipe Franks will just have to take care of the football.

The knee injury to Kentucky QB Terry Wilson moved the line just enough to make the Wildcats an alluring pick. Backup Sawyer Smith, a grad transfer, went 5-2 outright at Troy last season and will not be wobbly-kneed in this situation. Kentucky escaped from the shackles of a 31-year straight-up losing streak in 2018 and welcomes no longer weighed down by pressure to end the drought. A rabid crowd under the lights is expected, with tickets fetching the highest prices in the country in the secondary market.
