The Kentucky Wildcats are heading back to their second Citrus Bowl in four seasons, this time facing Coach Mark Stoops’ alma mater in the Iowa Hawkeyes.
In their first season with Liam Coen at offensive coordinator, the Wildcats showed a revamped offense, with newcomers Will Levis and Wan’Dale Robinson leading the way for a high-powered passing attack. On the ground, Chris Rodriguez Jr. leads the way with a bully-ball style of rushing.
The true test will come in the form of the Iowa defense. They allow just 213 passing yards a game and force over two turnovers per game.
