The Gators (1-1, 0-1 SEC) took a 10-7 lead into the second half, but the Wildcats (2-0, 1-0) put together a 20-6 for their first win against Florida since 1986.
Terry Wilson put the Wildcats on top on Kentucky's first drive of the second half with a 24-yard touchdown run. Wilson then found Lynn Bowden Jr. for a 54-yard touchdown after the Gators missed a field goal.
Florida's woes continued with an interception before Feleipe Franks found Freddie Swain for a four yard score. The two-point conversion failed, but the Gators were able to get the ball back with 29 seconds remaining. Three plays later Franks was sacked and stripped, but in a strange series the Wildcats Kent Davonte stopped running. UK coach Mark Stoops told him to keep going and he was tackled at the goal line and crossed the plane to make it 27-16 as time expired.
Kentucky welcomes Murray St (0-2) to Lexington while the Gators welcome Colorado St (1-2).
No. 3 Georgia 41-No. 24 South Carolina 17
The Georgia Bulldogs (2-0, 1-0 SEC) used a 21 point third quarter to distance themselves from the Gamecocks (1-1, 0-1) and win their SEC opener.

South Carolina welcomes Marshall (2-0) next while Georgia also takes on a Conference USA team in Middle Tennessee St (1-1).
No. 2 Clemson 28-Texas A&M 26Perhaps the game of the week, the Clemson (2-0) defense was absolutely smothering, holding Texas A&M (1-1) to just three points in the first half, but the Aggies were able to crack the Tigers in the fourth quarter to make it interesting.
Perhaps the biggest play did not involve a score as Texas A&M was driving with just over two minutes left in the game. Kellen Mond connected with Quartney Davis when K'Von Wallace came from behind and stripped Davis. The officials ruled that the ball went out of bounds in the endzone to force a touchback. Replay was unable to confirm or deny the ruling, so the call stood.
The Aggies got the ball back with 1:08 left and took just 22 seconds to score on what should have been an interception, but the ball was tipped up to Kendrick Rogers for the touchdown. Mond was not so lucky on the 2-point conversion as he was picked off in the endzone and the Tigers held on to win.
Kelly Bryant and Trevor Lawrence each through a touchdown, while Bryant added another with his legs to lead the way for Clemson. Dabo Swinney is now 5-4 all-time against Jimbo Fisher.
