Citrus Bowl 2018, Penn State vs. Kentucky: Where, when, and team info
The game in Orlando now has its matchup.
Who’s playing in the 2018 Citrus Bowl?
Per Stadium’s Brett McMurphy:
Penn State (9-3, 6-3 in Big Ten)
The Nittany Lions were disappointing overall, because they lost to Ohio State in Week 5 on a misguided play call and, after a bye the next week, got bounced from the Playoff race by a mediocre Michigan State. Both of those losses were at home, and they added a destruction at Michigan’s hands later on. All of that stunk, but look: Trace McSorley’s playing his last game as a college football player. This is one of the 10 or 15 best teams in the country, at least. There’s a good chance watching them is worth the time.
Kentucky (9-3, 5-3 in SEC)
What a year for the Wildcats. They were honest-to-goodness SEC and Playoff contenders until Week 10, when Georgia humbled them in Lexington. They added a disappointing loss to Tennessee the week after that, but still, their season can’t count as anything other than a big success. Their nine wins were their most in a regular season since 1977. Their defense was quite good, and running back Benny Snell proved himself to be one of the most fun players in the country.
