Iowa's Kirk Ferentz spreads awareness for Kentucky tornado relief efforts

The outpouring of support for tornado victims throughout the state continues, this time with Kentucky football’s upcoming opponent in the VRBO Citrus Bowl.

Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz proved life is much bigger than sports Monday evening by spreading awareness to Kentucky’s ongoing tornado relief efforts. In an unbelievably classy move, the program shared a statement in support of the state and asked Hawkeye fans to donate.

“We are preparing to play Kentucky in the Citrus Bowl — but game planning for a bowl is nothing compared to the challenge the victims of this weekend’s severe weather outbreak are facing now and long into the future,” Ferentz said.
