Practice
Having already secured the starting QB role in week 3, Buck Rogers was able to enter week 4 focused on learning the playbook and trying to earn enough trust from the coaching staff to have some additional control of the play calling at the line of scrimmage. Rogers practiced with precision and accuracy an showed that he is well on his way to becoming a veteran QB.

Game - #21 Florida (3-0) at Kentucky (3-0)
The field conditions were sloppy as #21 Florida traveled to Kentucky to face off with the Wildcats for their first road game of the season. The Wildcats were ineffective on their opening drive but Rogers was able to lead the Gators into position for a field goal on Florida's opening possession of the game. Kentucky responded to tie the game at 3-3 on their next drive. Rogers would help the Gators once again move into field goal range with a long completion to the tight end.

The Gators got the ball back with a little under a minute remaining in the second quarter. Rogers threw a deep pass right on the mark the would get the ball inside the 2 yard line and was able to stop the clock with :03 seconds left in the half to allow for another field goal which put the Gators up 9-3 at halftime.

The second half was played in a downpour. Both teams struggled to move the ball and focused heavily on the running game. On the Gators second drive of the 3rd quarter, Rogers completed consecutive third downs but the Gators were forced to settle for yet another field goal. The Wildcats would add the games only touchdown early in the 4th quarter but were unable to stop the Gators running attack and Florida was able to run the clock down to escape Lexington with a 12-10 win.

The win propels Florida to 2-0 in the SEC and 4-0 overall. Florida kicker Justin Godfrey was named player of the game (and ultimately SEC special teams player of the week) after connecting on all 4 of his field goal attempts. Buck Rogers ended the game 10/19 for 188 yards.

The #21 Florida Gators will host #1 Alabama Crimson Tide in week 5.

Not sure if anyone is reading these or not... If so, leave comments about improvements that I can make. I am new to this game mode and would like some feedback. I am also trying to resolve and upgrade my video capture issues.
