GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The Kentucky Wildcats came to The Swamp beaten up. They left beaten down.

Tim Tebow threw two touchdown passes, ran for two scores and fifth-ranked Florida thumped injury-depleted Kentucky 63-5 today, extending its winning streak in the series to 22 games.

The Gators showed no signs of sluggishness coming off a bye and didn't have a letdown following a 51-21 drubbing of defending national champion LSU two weeks ago.

Now, they can focus on the game they've been looking forward to for a year: Georgia, a hated rival that stomped its way to a victory last season that essentially knocked Florida out of the Southeastern Conference race.

The Gators (6-1, 4-1 SEC) looked every bit ready for the rematch.

After sputtering in early starts against Miami, Mississippi and Arkansas this season, Florida jumped all over the Wildcats.

The Gators blocked punts on Kentucky's first two possessions and turned them into short touchdown runs, and led 28-0 before the Wildcats (5-3, 1-3) even got a first down.

It got worse, too. Percy Harvin had a 16-yard scoring run that made it 21-0, then added a 33-yard TD reception on a perfect pass from Tebow.

Tebow was 11-of-15 passing for 180 yards, ran nine times for 48 yards and spent the entire fourth quarter on the bench.

Florida led 42-3 at halftime and scored on the first play of the third quarter. Ahmad Black intercepted a pass from Mike Hartline and returned it 40 yards for a score.

Kestahn Moore added a 1-yard TD run, and John Brantley hooked up with David Nelson for a 38-yard score that made it 63-3 early in the fourth.

The Wildcats, who added a late safety on a muffed punt, had an excuse for their problems.

They were without leading receiver Dicky Lyons Jr. (knee) and starting running back Derrick Locke (knee). Both are out for the season. They also played without offensive tackle Justin Jeffries (knee) and defensive tackle Myron Pryor (ankle). Five other defensive players, including all three starting linebackers, were slowed by injuries.

It showed.

The Cats hadn't allowed more than 24 points in any game this season. The Gators scored more than that in the first quarter. Kentucky had allowed just two rushing touchdowns all year. Florida scored twice on the ground in its first eight plays.

The Wildcats looked like they would get on the scoreboard early in the second after Randall Cobb took over at quarterback, but Joe Haden blocked Lones Seiber's 31-yard field goal attempt.

It was the third blocked kick of the game for Florida and the 22nd in coach Urban Meyer's four seasons. Tebow hooked up with Jeff Demps three plays later on a crossing route, and the speedy running back took it 61 yards for a touchdown and a 35-0 lead.

Demps finished with 117 total yards.

Tebow's second TD run came late in the first half. It was the 36th rushing touchdown of his career, tying the school record set by Emmitt Smith in 1989.

Cobb was 9-of-18 passing for 78 yards and ran nine times for 52 yards.
