Fantasy Pick: Florida

So what will it take to knock off the defending national champions this season? It's an uphill climb to defeat them but I really believe Kentucky can. The Wildcats seem to have a knack for playing this game close in the beginning then letting it slip away in the second half. After last year's success and holding off Clemson for the bowl win, I think Kentucky can find a way to upset the Gators and give Florida their first loss of the season. It will be a combination of things, that type of game where player positions will be shuffled around. Expect a lot of receiving out of the backfield for Little. He may not break 100 on the ground, but he'll make up for receiving. Tamme should also be a huge key to Woodson's success in this game. Between delayed blocking schemes to rolling out for the catch for the first, Jacob Tamme has to come up huge for Kentucky in this game and games like these. The Gators return 21 scholarship juniors and seniors, return six offensive starters and just two defensively, but this is Florida, they have talent waiting in the mix. This should be a close game, I mean down to the wire, and should be Kentucky's next big upset win under Rich Brooks. Let's look at my fantasy stats …

Final Score: Kentucky 23 Florida 21

Woodson: 250 yds, 2 TDs, 20 rushing
Little: 85 rushing, TD, 60 receiving, TD
Tamme: 80 yds
Burton: 75 yds
Lyons: 45 yds, TD
KICKER: 2 FGs
DEFENSE: 21 pts allowed, 5 sacks, 2 Ints, 2 fumble recoveries
