Clemson, Kentucky coaches and players involved in pregame exchange before Gator Bowl

Players and even coaches from Clemson and Kentucky had to be separated during pregame activities at the Gator Bowl this morning.

Officials managed to get the teams apart to prevent any further escalation.

If nothing else, this should get both teams ready for what figures to be a pretty solid bowl game:
