And, hell, if you want to take the truly pessimistic view, it's that an unprepared Florida team was shown up by a far lesser Kentucky team, had to be gifted a win, and has no clear way forward to improvement. Here's a list of questions that I can ask if I'm being really skeptical, just off the top of my head: Is Driskel going to suddenly get much, much better at reading the field? What happens when teams can lock up Demarcus Robinson and force other receivers to beat them? How bad is Florida's secondary if an unheralded true freshman who wasn't even listed on Kentucky's roster — Garrett Johnson — could burn it repeatedly? Will Florida's defensive line look as stout against the run against an offensive line like Alabama's?
Don't those field goal misses by Frankie Velez and Austin Hardin mean that Florida's got to go for it more often, and doesn't the recent inefficiency on third and fourth downs mean that's a bad thing? What happens when Florida isn't forcing four turnovers per game? How will Florida flip the field if Kyle Christy reverts to 2013 form, or Andre Debose gets hurt? Will Florida's receivers ever solve their problems with drops? How much does Florida already miss Jake McGee and D.J. Humphries?​

Dont'a Hightower filled several positions for New England on Sunday and filled up his stat line as a result during the Patriots' 30-7 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Listed as a starting outside linebacker, Hightower also played some at middle linebacker and even put his hand on the ground as a defensive end. He finished the game with eight tackles, two sacks, two quarterback hurries and a pass defended.
