There sure seems to be more heat around this year’s Florida-Kentucky football game than years past. Last night, Kentucky running back Jojo Kemp told reporters that he looks forward to beating the Gators and “rubbing it in the faces” of his former high school teammates who play for the Gators. Florida has not taken kindly to that statement, and has already had it printed on a motivational poster in the locker room. Fullback A.J. Mobley shared a picture of the poster on Facebook.

As previously noted by Florida’s Michael Taylor, Kemp is a back-up, so those are big words coming from someone who may only get limited snaps in the game. Word is that Kentucky coach Mark Stoops is not thrilled with Kemp’s brash statement either.

The lesson here: leave the upset predictions for the starters and coaches…or maybe a program that has defeated Florida sometime since 1986. Florida is an 18-point favorite over Kemp’s Wildcats.
