Clemson football live score updates vs. Kentucky in Gator Bowl matchup
The Tigers (8-4) and Wildcats (7-5) will tangle for the first time since Clemson claimed a 21-13 victory in the 2009 Music City Bowl following coach Dabo Swinney’s first full season as the Tigers’ head coach.
This season Clemson rebounded from a 4-4 start by winning four in a row, including victories against ranked opponents in Notre Dame and North Carolina.
“We’ve played tough and been a very physical football team,” Swinney said. “We had some tough breaks and the ball hasn’t bounced our way, but the guys kept coming and we finished well.
“They’ve improved, gotten better and cut out some of the costly mistakes that hurt us at the beginning of the year.”
Friday’s game marks Clemson’s 50th bowl appearance – the 12th-best total in the nation – and will be Swinney’s 20th bowl game, which is No. 1 all-time among ACC coaches.
