Florida vs Kentucky: 3 bold predictions for Week 4 SEC bout

3. Tryie Cleveland will be Florida’s go-to receiver

First of all, if you haven’t seen Tyrie Cleveland’s catch to end the game versus Tennessee, you have been living under a rock. After blowing a 10-point lead with a little over five minutes left, the Gators turned to a hope and a prayer to find a win against the Vols.

While he hasn’t been the strongest wide out for the Gators to date, he likely will be for the coming game. Currently, Cleveland has nine catches for 149 yards as well as four kick returns for 104 more. Look for those numbers to increase as this game and this season develop.

Now that struggling quarterback Feleipe Franks has found a kind of chemistry with Cleveland, he is likely to get more involved. When a quarterback finds a receiver he can trust, he tends to go to that player more and more. For example, Eli Manning will go to OBJ every time he has the chance. Ben Roethlisberger will find Antonio Brown if he can. Cleveland may become that go-to for Franks, though only time will tell for that one.

Kentucky will need to keep the ball out of his hands, specifically during kick off returns much like they did with South Carolina’s dynamic return man Deebo Samuel last week. The Wildcats will do well to keep him covered all night long.
