The Kentucky Wildcats (7-5) meet the Virginia Tech Hokies (8-4) on Tuesday at noon in the Belk Bowl. It is the 20th all-time meeting between the two schools from neighboring states with the Wildcats holding the edge 11-6-2. The last meeting was in 1987, which UK won 14-7 in Lexington.
The Wildcats present a unique challenge for legendary retiring defensive coordinator Bud Foster. While UK ranks just No. 77 in total offense, the Wildcats are led by junior receiver/quarterback Lynn Bowden, and rank No. 4 in rushing offense. Yes, you read that correctly, Bowden is a receiver and a quarterback.
