Prior to the start of Friday's bowl game, Kentucky came out swinging and gesturing, prompting someone to say that the Gator Bowl was more like a Super Bowl for the Wildcats. But it was Clemson holding the trophy at the end.
There was no doubt that Kentucky wanted to win this bowl game. Their star running back Ray Davis, who is headed to the NFL, stayed around to play for his teammates (and props to him). And there were indications that other players stayed to play because the opponent was Clemson.
Clemson? It was the same thing we hear every week: a nameless, faceless opponent.
