The No. 22 Gators hit the road to Kentucky and ran into the Big Blue Wall during the most troubling performance during Napier’s two seasons. Nothing went right during the Gators’ 33-14 loss, raising continued concerns with Napier’s offense and UF’s special teams while also spotlighting deficiencies on a much-improved defense. The performance has many wondering about the program’s direction.
