The Big Blue Nation will ring in the New Year by partying like it’s 2019. The VRBO Citrus Bowl will host Kentucky and Iowa on Jan. 1, 2022, in sunny Orlando, Florida. ABC will broadcast the game at 1 pm ET.
Brett McMurphy of The Action Network broke the news. We’ll have to wait until later this afternoon before an official confirmation is announced.
Kentucky finished the 2021 regular season 9-3 in sole possession of second place in the SEC East. They will take on Iowa, the winners of the Big Ten West that fell 42-3 to Michigan in Saturday’s Big Ten Championship Game.
