LEXINGTON - A year after being snubbed by the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl, Kentucky football is heading to Jacksonville, Florida, to face NC State in this season's edition of the game.
"We are very excited to accept a bid to the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl," UK coach Mark Stoops said in a news release. "I want to thank the Gator Bowl for the invitation and I want to thank our administration, Dr. Eli Capilouto and Mitch Barnhart, for their unwavering support this season. It’s been a very trying year for all of us and our team is ready to move forward with a fifth straight bowl game.
