After a long month off, Kentucky will be taking the football field for 60 minutes of action at Camping World Stadium in Orlando on New Year’s Day. The Citrus Bowl is one of the few bowls still played yearly on New Year’s Day and this will be Kentucky’s biggest bowl game since the victory over Oklahoma in the 1951 Sugar Bowl.
It will only be the third Florida bowl game for the program in the last two decades and on the opposing sideline will be a familiar opponent. Penn State played Kentucky the last time the Wildcats played on New Year’s Day and came away with a double-digit victory in Tampa.
