Kentucky football literally chomps gator after Florida victory
Kentucky quarterback Will Levis showed the gator feast on Instagram
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The Kentucky Wildcats went into Gainesville this past weekend and defeated the No. 12-ranked Florida Gators. So, to celebrate, they had themselves a very fitting meal.
Kentucky’s starting quarterback, Will Levis, posted a photo to his Instagram story on Monday night showing a half-eaten alligator that the team dined on.
It’s pretty obvious it’s a play on the Florida mascot, who the Wildcats don’t mind taking a literal chomp out of as they did on the field Saturday.

Levis went 13-for-24 for 202 yards with one touchdown and one interception. He also had a rushing score.

Florida’s very talented quarterback, Anthony Richardson, wasn’t as sharp as he was against the University of Utah, where he had three rushing touchdowns on 11 carries and 106 yards.

Richardson was shut down on the ground, having six carries for just four yards, as Kentucky forced him to throw. He was very inefficient, going 14-for-35 for 143 yards with two interceptions. Trevor Etienne had the lone touchdown for the Gators on the ground.
