Cats got a good draw here playing a 7-5 KY Wildcat team. Great for NU Wildcat fans as this is a bowl that is a driveable distance from Chicago which means not having to deal with traffic getting to the airport, either checking bags at your gate or doing a marathon thru the airport (OHare) to get to your gate with your bags and of course the security lines.

Nashville is an 8 hour drive from Chicago and the game is scheduled for late on Friday afternoon 12/29 (330PM CST). Kentucky has a potent offense scoring 309 pts this year but has trouble stopping anybody giving up 343. NU finished 4th in the Big 10 in scoring with 356 or just under 30 per game while surrendering only 236 or just less than 20 per game which ranks the Cats in a tie for 4th with Purdue.

Hopefully the weather will cooperate so both teams can best show their talents.
