Cat Scratches will break down the nuts and bolts from each and every game, including some postgame reaction and comments from the players who made the difference.The essentials: In Kentucky’s 25th straight loss to Florida, the Wildcats fell the Gators by a score of 48-10 in front of 65,134 fans at Commonwealth Stadium on Saturday evening. Behind Jeff Demps and Chris Rainey, Florida rolled up 405 rushing yards while the Kentucky offense committed four costly turnovers. After holding Florida to just 23 yards on nine plays on its first two drives, the Gators scored touchdowns on the following three possessions en route to a 21-3 lead at the end of the first quarter. Two of the three touchdowns in the first quarter were scored following UK turnovers and head coach Joker Phillips said the giveaways and the poor field position that stemmed from them was the Wildcats’ downfall.”For five minutes in the game we looked like a pretty good football team,” Phillips said, “and then the things that we had been doing in the past started showing up: turnovers (and) giving short fields.”UK did manage regroup a bit in the second quarter and establish some momentum, recovering a fumble forced on a sack by Danny Trevathan and scoring a touchdown on a pass from Morgan Newton to La’Rod King,  marking the fourth consecutive outing with a receiving touchdown for the junior wide receiver. In the end though, Florida’s speed and the Wildcats’ own mistakes proved too much to overcome.Phillips could not complain about his team’s effort, but said his team must correct the errors that have plagued them all season.”Our kids are fighting, scratching and clawing,” Phillips said. “We’re just not playing very smart. They’ll continue to fight. I believe in those guys, but we’ve got to get some things corrected, and this begins with me.”Turning point: Kentucky’s intensity was there from the opening kick. Freshman Ashely Lowery laid a big hit on Solomon Patton to pin the Wildcats’ deep on the opening kickoff and the defense responded with a prompt three-and-out to set up the offense in good field position. UK punted back to Florida, but the defense again held to set UK up with the ball at its own 36-yard line.Newton opened the drive with a nine-yard strike to King, but on second-and-one freshman running back Josh Clemons fumbled and the loose ball was recovered by Omar Hunter. Florida wasted no time in capitalizing. Quarterback Jeff Brantley found Gerald Christian on a seam route and the tight end burned safety Martavius Neloms for a 45-yard touchdown.From there, Florida grabbed hold of field position and of the game. The Gators next two drives spanned 43 and 28 yards and the lead was 21-0 before the Commonwealth crowd could even recognize what had happened. Phillips said it was a case of mistakes begetting mistakes.”I think it gets infectious sometimes when a mistake gets made, and then another one comes and another one comes,” Phillips said.Play of the game: Clemons’ fumble may have propelled the Gators to their early big lead, but it was a run later by Demps that put the nail in the Wildcats’ coffin. UK got the ball to open the second half with a chance to cut Florida’s 31-10 lead, driving 31 yards into Gator territory before Newton threw an incompletion on third down. However, Ryan Tydlacka uncorked a beautiful punt to pin Florida inside the one-yard line. With the crowd behind them, the Cats forced the Gators into third-and-six situation. UK, though, could not prevent Rainey from converting the first down with a six-yard run. Two plays later, Demps broke free from the UK defense, racing 84 yards for a touchdown and an insurmountable 38-10 lead.”The biggest play, I think, in the second half to me was when you’ve got them third-and-seven and they run the ball right at you for seven yards and get the first down,” Phillips said. “That’s a huge, huge play, and then two plays later they go 80 something yards for a touchdown.”Player of the game: It sure seems like Demps has been around for a while and it probably seems like that even more so to the opponents that have to chase him. The NCAA 100-meter champion put on a display, dicing the UK defense to the tune of 157 yards and two touchdowns. Even more impressively, he needed just 10 carries to tally a career-high total in rushing yards as he gained 15.7 yards per carry. Demps was far from the only Gator to damage on the ground though. Rainey also topped 100 yards with 108 on 15 carries while Mike Gillislee chipped in with 84 yards on six carries. Unsung heroes: With the outcome of the game determined, Phillips took the opportunity in the second half to play freshman quarterback Maxwell Smith. Knowing that Smith could be called upon to play meaningful snaps this season in the case of an injury to Newton, the experience was very valuable.”I just think it was an opportunity to get a young guy in the game,” Phillips said. “I would have had no problem with keeping Morgan in the game, but it’s an opportunity to get Max Smith (playing time).”He’ll be a better player by getting this experience that he was able to get tonight.”Smith didn’t have eye-popping numbers, but he showed some of the form that has the coaching staff so excited about his future. The California native completed 6-of-11 passes for 41 yards, made some nice throws and displayed sound decision-making. Not everything Smith did was positive, but considering the situation, the coaching staff was pleased.”There were a few things that surprised me to the good and there were a few things that surprised me to the bad,” offensive coordinator Randy Sanders said. “The guy is a true freshman and for his first action to be against Florida, that’s a pretty tall order.”For Smith, he was just thankful to finally be able to play.”It felt great to finally get out there,” Smith said. “The first couple balls came out kind of bad, but I put them in a good spot and our receivers made some good catches.”Smith and Newton are two quarterbacks who have competed with one another since Smith arrived on campus, but you wouldn’t know it from the way they treat one another. Newton went out of his way to support Smith as he was preparing to enter the game.”He wanted me to go in,” Smith said. “We had talked about it at halftime. He said ‘be ready’ and gave me some tips and pointers. Morgan and I are good friends. I want him to do well and he wants me to do well.”Smith did play pretty well, but make no mistake, Newton is this team’s starter.”We don’t have a quarterback controversy,” Phillips said.Injury report: Center Matt Smith and tackle Billy Joe Murphy have dealt with injuries, but both made it through the evening without aggravating them. Four other Cats, though, did sustain new injuries. Neloms suffered a concussion, running back Josh Clemons exited in the first quarter after he strained a hamstring, Winston Guy sustained bruised ribs and Mychal Bailey bruised his left forearm. X-rays on Bailey were negative.Hidden stat: Florida sports an elite defensive unit. All season long, the Gators have suffocated their opponents. The Cats did struggle at times, but there were extended periods where UK moved the ball effectively. “We’re a football team that looks good at times, and definitely tonight there were some good things, and that’s the thing that’s lost in this,” Phillips said. “We did some good things at times.  We threw the ball, we moved the football.”The 299 yards UK gained on offense were the most Florida has allowed this season. Additionally, UK gained 134 yards on the ground, marking the first time an opponent of Florida’s has topped the century mark in 2011.What this one means: There wasn’t much learned in this game that wasn’t already known. The Wildcats knew going in that if they duplicated many of the mistakes made in the first three games of the season it would be a long night and a long night it was.  The same will be true in the Cats next two games. Facing heavyweights LSU and South Carolina on the road the next two weeks, UK’s margin for error may even shrink a bit more. UK did show improvement in some areas, but it’s going to take much more dramatic improvement for the Cats to have any kind of chance against the caliber of opponents awaiting them. Phillips said that improvement will have to start in the realm of turnovers.”I’ve got to get this football team to know how precious the football is,” Phillips said.Fortunately, Phillips has a team he knows is going to work.”We’ve got a team that’s battling, there’s no question about that,” Phillips said. “They’re fighting and trying. We’ve just got to get some mistakes corrected.”
