It isn't a New Years Six bowl game like Kentucky football hoped it would be before the season began. And it won't feature the Wildcats' starting quarterback or running back.
But the Wildcats (7-5) will face a familiar opponent Saturday at noon in the Music City Bowl — Iowa. That's right, the Hawkeyes (7-5), last year's Citrus Bowl opponent.
This year's reunion, the second time the two programs will meet, doesn't have as much spice to it. But Cats fans can get a look at some of the players who could be big names in a year with Will Levis and Chris Rodriguez, among others, sitting out to prepare for the NFL draft.
