I understand it was a tough loss but, daaammmmmmn.
For the first time since 1986, Kentucky Saturday night beat Florida in a college football game. It was also the football Wildcats’ first win over the Gators in Gainesville since the 1979 season. However you frame it historically, it was an epic win for Kentucky -- and a jarring loss for Florida, especially as it came in the second game of the first season of what was expected to be Dan Mullen‘s triumphant return to The Swamp.
Related or not, the Gators yet suffered another loss as, a little over a half-hour after being stunned by the Wildcats, running back Adarius Lemons took to Twitter to announce that he is “transferring from the [U]niversity of Florida.”
“I want to find a school I can help to my best ability and actually use my talent that God has blessed me with,” Lemons humbly wrote.

In the loss to the Wildcats, Lemons didn’t record a carry. He did, however, return two kicks for 47 yards. After rushing for 136 yards in nine games as a true freshman last season, Lemons hadn’t recorded a carry through the Gators’ first two games of 2018 before announcing his departure.
