Florida vs. Kentucky score: Live game updates, college football scores, NCAA top

After a wild first half of football, No. 12 Florida leads No. 20 Kentucky 16-13 in a game that nearly went off the rails. Running back Trevor Etienne’s 11-yard touchdown scamper gave the Gators a seven-point lead midway through the second quarter, and that was followed by a safety for Florida when a snap sailed over Colin Goodfellow’s head and through the end zone to make it 16-7. Kentucky battled back and turned a Jordan Wright interception into a 1-yard touchdown run from quarterback Will Levis to make it 16-13.

The story of the game has been Florida’s rush defense, which has held the Wildcats to just two yards on the ground through 30 minutes of play. Had it not been for Wright’s interception, this game could have gone sideways. Wright’s pick changed the entire landscape of the game headed into the locker room, and Kentucky will get the ball first in the second half.

Georgia is the unquestioned power in the SEC East, but finding its primary threat is a task that will begin to take form in The Swamp on Saturday night. Keep it locked here with CBS Sports for live scores, game updates, analysis and highlights as Florida hosts Kentucky.
