The last time these two schools met on the gridiron was 20 years ago in the 1999 Outback Bowl. At that time, the two programs couldn’t have been more different. Kentucky behind a young hotshot head coach, had an NFL quarterback in a scheme that was going to set the college football world on fire for the next two decades. Penn State, with a hall of fame head coach, had a squad built on defense and ball control offense. The Nittany Lions had two future top five picks in their front seven and were looking for a 9-win season for the sixth consecutive season.
