Kentucky, which is in the midst of blowing out No. 22 Florida on Saturday, displayed offensive domination on one particular play in the second half.
At the 10:55 mark of the third quarter, the Wildcats faced first-and-goal from the Florida 2-yard line.
Despite Florida playing with 13 men on defense, the Gators were unable to stop Kentucky running back Ray Davis from extending the Wildcats’ lead to 30-7.
One, two, three, FOUR all-purpose touchdowns for @Ray_Davis07

Davis is the first SEC player to record at least 250 yards and four touchdowns from scrimmage in a game since 2019, according to ESPN Stats & Info. (That instance also was a Kentucky player, Lynn Bowden Jr., who accomplished the feat against Louisville).
Florida’s inability to stop Davis with two extra defensive players elicited myriad witty responses on social media.

This is really getting ugly for Gators. Making Ray Davis look like a slam dunk as for the Heisman, while lack of execution is compounded by repeating same stupid mistakes — including 13 men in the field. That’s gotta stop!

13 Florida defenders not enough to prevent a 4th Ray Davis touchdown for Kentucky pic.twitter.com/SSfNr1C4IC

Ray Davis scores his fourth touchdown of the day, three on the ground. Did it with 13 defensive players on the field. 249 rushing yards on 17 carries.

An all-time college football performance.
Convinced Ray Davis would score on Florida even if it was 1 on 11
