Happy New Year, Steelers Nation, and welcome to another great day of college football action! Bowl season isn’t over yet, as we have another four games on tap today. The action begins at the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, as NC State takes on Kentucky. Also in action today are Ole Miss and Indiana, who play in the early window in the Outback Bowl on ABC.
Oregon and Iowa State should make for an interesting game in the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl, but the most intriguing game of the day has to be Texas A&M going up against North Carolina in the Capital One Orange Bowl. It should be a great day of football, so join in on the conversation and give your thoughts on these prospects!
The University of Kentucky will be shorthanded against Alabama on Saturday afternoon inside Bryant-Denny Stadium.
Per a report from Kyle Tucker of the Athletic and Kentucky Sports Radio, the Wildcats will be down at least five starters against the Crimson Tide due to a combination of injuries and COVID-19 protocols.
Wildcats running back Chris Rodriguez Jr., punter Max Duffy, leading tackler, linebacker Jamin Davis are just some of the Kentucky players that won’t be available.
Rodriguez is a vital part of Kentucky’s prolific rushing attack. On the year, the redshirt sophomore has 562 yards, which is fifth in the Southeastern Conference, on 88 carries and six touchdowns.
