Billy Napier on the Florida Gators win over Kentucky
“Okay, I think the thing I’m most proud of would be the resiliency of that team. This is a resilient group. Obviously been through quite a bit throughout the season. I would tell you that it really matters to them in terms of how they represent the University of Florida. Obviously, a big deal to play in homecoming. Had a ton of people back this weekend. Incredible weekend recognizing the ’84 team.
I would tell you, this group they felt like they had maybe let the place down, let people down in terms of how we played earlier in the year. They took that personal and it was important to them to do that better. The last couple times we been able to play at home I think they’ve done better in that regard. How hard we play and the way we compete and being a great teammate has got to be in our DNA.
These guys have proven that over time that that could be effective if we do those things, and every person matters. Not just what you see out there tonight. We have so many people contribute. About 250 people that contribute to what we do. Tonight, we won the turnover margin. We played really good on the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. Thought the defense was really good on conversion downs.
The momentum plays in the game, fourth down stops, and obviously Montrell being out, for Jadan Baugh to step up, with Graham being injured and out for the year for DJ to step up, and a really good defensive performance outside of the kickoff return and the flea-flicker, I thought those guys played really strong. We played complementary ball. Again, I think we probably played our best football of the year, and I’m really proud of the resiliency of that group.”

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) – Recent heavy rainfall has left soil across the state completely soaked, contributing to localized flooding in some areas.
When rain falls, some water soaks into the ground through a process called percolation.
Soil can only hold a limited amount of water. Once the small air spaces within the soil fill with water, the ground becomes saturated and additional rainfall has nowhere to go.
Soil type plays a role in how quickly water drains.
Much of Kentucky has clay-heavy soil, which is made up of very small, flat particles packed tightly together.
That composition makes it harder for water to move through. In clay soil, water may drain at a rate of only 0.02 to 0.17 inches per hour.
When rainfall comes down faster than the ground can absorb it and water cannot drain into a stream or storm drain quickly enough, it begins to build up.
That buildup is what leads to localized flooding.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) – Cyclosporiasis is a microscopic parasite that can contaminate food and water — is making people sick across several states, including Kentucky.
Dr. Patricia Tellez-Watson said, the illness is caused by Cyclospora cayetanensis and spreads when someone ingests contaminated food or water. “It is an intestinal infection caused by this water-borne, food-borne microscopic parasite,” she said.
Symptoms can include diarrhea, nausea and vomiting.
Tellez-Watson said, cases are often sporadic, but outbreaks can happen — especially during hot, wet months, when the parasite can survive in the environment long enough to become infectious.
Health experts recommend taking extra precautions with food and water. Washing hands and thoroughly rinsing produce before eating or cooking can reduce risk.
Watson also urged people to be cautious with fresh produce, particularly pre-packaged items, and to consider using bottled water.
Officials have confirmed cases in Bowling Green, though it’s unclear how many.
