BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- The last time Kentucky beat Florida in a college football game, most of the current Wildcats weren't even born.

The year was 1986.

At that time, both teams were stuck near the bottom of the Southeastern Conference standings when Kentucky pulled off a 10-3 win in Lexington. Remember, this was pre-Steve Spurrier days in Gatorland. Since then, though, it's been all Florida. As in 21 straight wins for Florida.

"It has relevance because we never hear the end of it," Kentucky coach Rich Brooks said. "Some of our guys were never even born before the streak even started. But if we believed in those type of things, we wouldn't have been to two straight bowl games for the first time in over 50 years. So we're just working on getting past that type of negativity."

The Wildcats (5-2) visit Gainesville on Saturday looking to put an end to the streak. But it won't be easy against a fifth-ranked Florida (5-1, 3-1) team which two weeks ago dismantled LSU by 30 points in The Swamp.

Committee At Work

Ole Miss is still waiting for its first 100-yard rushing performance out of a running back this season. That doesn't necessarily mean the Rebels can't run the ball, though. Using a four-tailback system made up of Brandon Bolden, Cordera Eason, Dexter McCluster and Enrique Davis, Ole Miss still ranks fifth in the SEC in rushing yards per game.

"I'd love to have the Darren McFadden and the Felix Jones of the world where you have two running for 100 yards, but is by committee," Rebels coach Houston Nutt said. "But each has a role. And they're all getting better, and all have a significant role."

Bolden leads Ole Miss, averaging just 46.0 yards rushing per game. But combined, the four backs average 143.2 yards per contest.

"We're concerned with all four of them," Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino said. "Not just one of them."

Fire 'Em Up

With his Georgia Bulldogs visiting LSU this weekend, Mark Richt was asked Wednesday the difference between getting his team fired up for a big game while making sure they didn't become too nervous.

Good question, according to Richt.

You've just got to keep an eye on it. You've got to keep an eye on your coaches, you've got to keep an eye on your players and their reaction to your coaches," Richt said. "I don't worry too much about it on a Tuesday, but as you get closer to a game you just try to gauge where everybody's' mindset is.

"You like when the guys get emotional about a game, but you don't want those emotions to stifle their mindset for the game. You just want them to channel it in the right way."

This and That

Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville was a no show on the SEC weekly teleconference due to travel conflicts. Tuberville was on his way to play at West Virginia today... Mississippi State coach Sylvester Croom will not make a quarterback change, despite three interceptions thrown last week by Tyson Lee.

"I hope he's learned from them," Croom said. "But he's still going to be the starter."
