The Kentucky Wildcats are heading to the TaxSlayer Bowl, where they will face the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
This bowl will take place on Dec. 31st at EverBank Field in Jacksonville, Florida. The Cats earned a berth in the game thanks to a 7-5 record this season, highlighted by their upset win of then-No. 11 Louisville in the regular-season finale. That win was what propelled UK from a lower-tier bowl like the Independence or Liberty Bowl all the way to Jacksonville for a rare New Year’s Eve bowl for the program.
The Jackets also got here thanks in large part to a big upset in their regular-season finale.
