No. 20 Kentucky improved to 2-0 on the season and picked up a massive win in Southeastern Conference play, defeating No. 12 Florida, 26-16.

After trailing 16-7 late in the second quarter, the Wildcats scored the final 19 points of the game to leave The Swamp with the victory, the third in the last five meetings vs. the Gators.

The win was also historic for head coach Mark Stoops, who now sits alone in the UK record books.

With the win, Stoops moved ahead of Paul “Bear” Bryant on the career wins list, becoming the all-time winningest coach in Kentucky football history.

Stoops, who was 12-26 at one point in 2016, is now 61-53 as the head coach at Kentucky.
