It seems only fitting that head coach Mark Stoops and the Kentucky Wildcats will close out an extraordinary football season on New Year’s Day in a mystical place known for its Magic Kingdom.
Kentucky’s wild ride continues on Tuesday when the No. 14-ranked Cats face No. 12 Penn State in the 2019 Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Florida. Both teams are currently 9-3 and the Nittany Lions enter the game as a 6.5-point favorite.
Playing in its third straight bowl game under Stoops, the Cats are hoping to add the final plot twist to what’s been a fairy tale season.
