Joker Phillips’ first career loss as a head coach came in familiar fashion in the growing streak of losses to Florida.Kentucky made it more respectable than the last two years — at least for a while — but Florida ultimately ran through the UK football team again in a 48-14 rout in Gainesville, Fla., defeating the Cats for the 24th straight time behind five Trey Burton touchdowns.  In facing defeat for the first time as the head man of the program, what does Phillips take from the loss? He took no consolation in any moral victories Saturday night.”To win on the road, especially in environments like this, you have to do (the little things),” Phillips said. “You can’t have 5-yard penalties, you can’t have turnovers (and) you can’t have turnovers for touchdowns.”Kentucky did all of the above, once again dashing high hopes of ending the notorious streak. Though the Cats were hit in the mouth from the start, falling behind 21-0, Phillips said his team was not intimidated by the challenge or by the environment.”We talked about poise coming in here,” Phillips said. “We talked about not being intimidated. I don’t think our guys were intimidated. I looked at every one of them when they come off the field. I looked into their eyes, and our guys were not intimidated. We lost our poise at the end. We had two 15-yard personal fouls. That cannot happen. That’s not Kentucky football.”While it’s clear Kentucky has closed some of the talent gap with Florida, the Gators returned the Cats to earth after the 3-0 start to the season. Despite cutting the score to 27-14 midway through the third quarter, ghosts of Florida past returned in Gainesville. Florida jumped all over UK in the first quarter, Mike Hartline threw a costly interception that was returned for a touchdown in the second quarter, the defense was gashed up the middle by Florida’s speed and crossing routes (often on third downs), and just for old times sake, the Gators blocked a field goal in the fourth quarter.Phillips, however, wasn’t buying that Florida is still leaps and bounds ahead of UK in terms of athleticism and talent.”I think we got out-leveraged,” Phillips said. “We were stopping our feet looking in the backfield. Those are things you cannot do against superior athletes. We’ve got some superior athletes in the backfield also, but you can’t stop your feet with your eyes in the backfield. … Our guys fought, there’s no question about that. We went toe-to-toe.”But toe-to-toe against Florida wasn’t enough for the 24th time in a row. A slow start, mistakes, missed tackles and 7-of-11 third-down conversions made sure it wasn’t very close for the third year in a row.Now what does Phillips do? After such a positive first three weeks of the season — regardless of the opponent, Kentucky was off to a fantastic start — all momentum has been halted and early season dreams have come crashing back down to reality.How does Phillips get the proverbial train back on the tracks after the annual Florida derailing? The adversity will be the first true test of his head-coaching career.”We’ve got to learn from it,” Phillips said. “We go on the road again next week. Those are the things we have to get corrected. We can’t turn the football over, we can’t commit stupid penalties and can’t give up big plays in any three areas (offense defense and special teams).”Saturday’s loss was as disheartening as any loss to the Gators in the past, but at 3-1 and with a road game at Ole Miss next week, it’s important the Cats — and its fans — not to jump ship after one loss. “We’ve just got to bounce back,” junior wide receiver Randall Cobb said. “We’ve got Ole Miss next week. We’ve got to put this in the past and move on.”
