The long-awaited bowl appearance for the Kentucky Wildcats is upon us, as Kentucky is preparing to take on the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets as the opening game on a full slate Saturday.
Both teams come in riding a wave of momentum. The Yellow Jackets are winners of five of their last six, including a 30-20 win over ACC Coastal Division Champion Virginia Tech. Kentucky won five of their last seven, including the win on the road against the rival Louisville Cardinals.
While most bowl games are more like exhibitions, a bowl win could prove to be quite valuable for the Wildcats.
