(Radio Iowa) – Iowa and Kentucky have a final practice today before Saturday’s kickoff at the Citrus Bowl. The 15th ranked Hawkeyes enter the game with a 10-3 record.

That’s Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz who says the Hawkeyes have worked hard but enjoyed all the festivities.

Ferentz says both teams earned their way into the game.

Iowa is looking to bounce back from a lopsided loss to Michigan in the Big Ten Championship game.

At a joint news conference this (Friday) morning, Ferentz was asked if he would name a starting quarterback.

Kentucky coach Mark Stoops will match up against the school he played for.

Both programs have won three straight bowl games but neither has won four straight. That will change for tomorrow’s winner.

Listen for the game on KJAN, beginning with the pre-game show at 10-a.m., Saturday. Kickoff is at Noon, Iowa time. The action will also be televised by ABC.
