Coming home could be the tonic Florida football needs following a heartbreaking loss at Tennessee.

The Florida Gators (3-3, 1-2 SEC) will look to regroup when they host Kentucky (3-3, 1-3 SEC) at The Swamp in a pivotal homecoming game.

With a win, Florida would head into its second open week on a high note before its showdown on Nov. 2 in Jacksonville against rival No. 4 Georgia.

UF is coming off a 23-17 overtime loss at No. 10 Tennessee — a game in which the Gators squandered red zone scoring chances in the first half and failed to hold a 10-point lead in the second half.

“That loss, it hurt, it stung like a terrible taste in our mouths,” Florida tight end Arlis Boardingham said. “But it’s pushed us to be even better, for the defense to do more, for the offense to contribute way more, so I feel like it’s definitely brought a positive edge to us.”
