Florida football secured yet another big road win in Week 11, upsetting the Kentucky Wildcats in Lexington, 21-14, to become bowl-eligible for the second time in the last four years. Jon Sumrall also picked up his first win against his alma mater in the process.
Aaron Philo did his best Tim Tebow impression, leading all players in rushing yards with 102, while the Gators' defense continues to look vastly improved over its performances earlier in the season. Things looked rough early on in the frigid Kroger Field conditions, but the team coalesced as the game progressed, hanging on for the one-score win.
After the game's final horn sounded, the Gator Nation and other college football fans logged onto social media to celebrate Florida's huge upset
victory on Saturday night. Here is a look at a collection of some of the top comments.

What was that you said, person who said terrible things about our Gators and our Coach and all the play calls? If I read your posts tonight, I would've thought we were done.
