Takeaways from Kentucky’s brutal loss to Florida on the road
The Kentucky Wildcats went down to Gainesville on Saturday to take on the Florida Gators in what was a must-win to not dig theirselves a deeper hole. That didn’t work out to great, as the Wildcats were essentially manhandled all night and ended up falling by a score of 48-20. A night full of more discipline issues, it wasn’t just the offense who had a lot of issues. Kentucky’s defense allowed numerous explosive plays to Florida QB DJ Lagway, and that was one of the many faults for the Wildcats in the game.
Let’s take a look at some of the takeaways with the Wildcats sitting in a tough position just over halfway through the season.
On Saturday night, the Wildcats desperately needed their offense to get it in gear, as all season, they have struggled to get points on the board, especially against SEC foes. Aside from the Barion Brown kickoff return for a touchdown, the offense itself couldn’t find much rhythm. Kentucky converted just 4 of their 13 plays on 3rd downs, which is a struggling stat. The Wildcats found theirselves in multiple down situations a lot, and before you knew it, it was 3rd down. You can’t win unless you capitalize on offense.
In what is usually the insurance for the offense’s struggles, the defense wasn’t their self on Saturday. It was probably their worst performance of the year, and the secondary felt most of that. Kentucky allowed some really big explosive plays to Florida QB DJ Lagway. He only completed 7 passes, but threw for 259 yards, connecting to Elijhah Badger a lot, who had a game-high 148 receiving yards. It wasn’t just the passing game either. Florida also was really effective in the run game, not only Lagway scrambling (46 yards), But also running back Jadan Baugh who had all of Florida’s 5 touchdowns. It wasn’t a pretty night.
This is something that has been an issue all season, mostly last week against Vandy and week 2 against South Carolina. It rared its head again on Saturday in The Swamp. On one play, the Wildcats couldn’t capitalize on an interception by Kristian Story that got them inside the 5 yard line in the redzone. Instead, a hands to the face penalty backed the Wildcats up, and from there, they managed to come up with zero points in great field position after failing to convert on 4th down. Kentucky had 3 penalties for 30 yards. Credit where it’s due though. The Wildcats didn’t have a penalty after the opening quarter.
Kentucky now sits at 3-4 on the season, and now will welcome Auburn to Kroger Field next Saturday. That one will kickoff at 7:45 p.m. ET on SEC Network. It doesn’t get any easier from here, and the Wildcats have a lot to clean up just over halfway through the season.

Florida couple in alleged embryo mix-up have identified biological parents of ‘non-caucasian’ baby
A Florida couple who claimed a fertility clinic error led the woman giving birth to a “non-Caucasian child” who was not related to them said they have identified their child’s biological parents, according to reports.
“The results of testing delivered to us today confirm that our baby’s genetic parents have been identified,” Tiffany Score and Steven Mills said in a statement obtained by People on Wednesday.
Score and Mills filed a lawsuit in January against Fertility Center of Orlando and its head reproductive endocrinologist, Dr. Milton McNichol, alleging that another patient’s embryo was implanted in Score’s uterus in April 2025.
The mix-up led to the birth of their now 4-month-old daughter, Shea, who is not biologically related to them, the filing alleged.
“This ends one chapter in our heartbreaking journey, but it raises new issues that will have to be resolved,” the statement continued. “In addition, questions about the disposition of our own embryos are still unanswered and are even more unlikely to ever be answered.”
“Only one thing is as absolutely certain today as it was on the day our daughter was born —we will love and will be this child’s parents forever.”
The couple added that they will respect the privacy of Shea’s biological parents and will keep their identities “confidential.”
Score and Mills, who are both white, stored three viable embryos at the Longwood clinic in 2020 for in vitro fertilization, a process that creates embryos and stores them until pregnancy.
Five years later, after an embryo was implanted, the couple gave birth to a “beautiful, healthy female child” on Dec. 11, 2025, according to the lawsuit filed Jan. 22 in Orange County Circuit Court and obtained by Law & Crime.
“Tragically, while both Jane Doe and John Doe are racially Caucasian, Baby Doe displayed the physical appearance of a racially non-Caucasian child,” the lawsuit said.
Further genetic testing confirmed that baby Shea had no biological relationship to either parent — raising questions about where their embryos had gone or whether another woman was impregnated with their biological child.
The new parents had an “intensely strong emotional bond” with their child during pregnancy and wished to keep the girl, but recognized she “should legally and morally be united with her genetic parents so long as they are fit, able and willing to take her,” the lawsuit stated.
Scarola told People, following Wednesday’s development, that Shea’s biological parents have not made any requests to take her into custody.
“Remaining questions about the fate of Tiffany and Steven’s unaccounted for embryos…are still pending,” Scarola said.
“The current legal proceeding will remain open to address those matters,” the attorney added. “However, we expect that we will now also begin to focus on the need for our clients to be compensated for the expenses they have incurred and the severe emotional trauma that they endured and will continue to experience.”
The Fertility Clinic of Orlando announced earlier this month that it would close by May 20 — a decision leadership said was made after “thoughtful consideration.”
Neither Scarola nor the clinic immediately responded to The Post’s request for comment.

Florida investigating AI role in mass shooting at university
Florida on Tuesday announced a criminal probe into whether artificial intelligence played a role in a deadly mass shooting at a university in the US state.
“If ChatGPT were a person, it would be facing charges for murder,” Uthmeier said.
Florida law allows anyone who assists or counsels someone in the commission of a crime to be treated as an “aider and abettor” bearing the same responsibility as the perpetrator, according to Uthmeier.
In exchanges with ChatGPT, the accused shooter sought advice on what type of gun and ammunition to use, as well as where and when on campus a lot of people would likely be found, the state attorney general said during a press briefing.
“Last year’s mass shooting at Florida State University was a tragedy, but ChatGPT is not responsible for this terrible crime,” an OpenAI spokesperson said.
