In a bowl season tinged with controversy surrounding the question, “Who wants to play?” the Kentucky football program is leaving no doubt that they are preparing to play an emotionally charged matchup with the Iowa Hawkeyes.
The emotional energy starts at the top and trickles down to a variety of important actors. Mark Stoops will be facing his alma mater and has not hesitated to share his feelings about Iowa. Jon Sumrall will spend one more game on the sideline coaching for his alma mater before taking his talents to Troy. Meanwhile, Kenneth Horsey will have the chance to shine in the hometown spotlight, as Marquan McCall carries his NFL fate in his hands.
