Kentucky football came up short against No. 22 Clemson 38-35 in the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Florida, on Dec. 29.
“I really liked this team,” Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops said. “I liked coaching. I wished we could have had a different outcome here. We had an opportunity to finish really strong and get two (wins) over two ranked teams.”
The Wildcats and Tigers both ended their respective regular seasons on a high note – Clemson with four straight wins including two over ranked opponents and Kentucky with a powerful upset over then No. 10 Louisville.
