Mandel picks Gator Bowl for Kentucky

Kentucky hopes to make a fourth consecutive bowl game this upcoming season, and most college football pundits believe Mark Stoops and his Cats will be back in the postseason in 2019.

Stewart Mandel is one of those pundits. The editor over at The Athletic’s college football division released his bowl projections today and he has Kentucky going back to Florida this January. Mandel projects it will be the Wildcats and the Wisconsin Badgers in the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl. That’s the same TaxSlayer Bowl we attended in 2016 when Stoops earned his first bowl bid as a head coach and the program’s first bowl game since the 2010 season.
