Coach Mark Stoops and the Kentucky Wildcats rolled into Orlando on Sunday with their sights set on two formidable opponents at this year’s Citrus Bowl — the Iowa Hawkeyes and the new Omicron Variant.
One is a familiar foe as Stoops himself is an Iowa alum, playing safety for the Hawkeyes from 1986-88, while the other remains a mystery as a slew of Bowl Games have already been cancelled due to Covid issues.
The Wildcats hit the practice field for the first time on Monday, getting back to work in the beautiful 77-degree Orlando weather after a month off that last saw the Wildcats close the regular season with a 52-21 win over rival Louisville on November 27th.
