Kentucky Football Bowls in the Stoops Era
Kentucky has been to five straight bowls, a school record. With only two more wins needed, that streak will almost certainly continue. With three consecutive bowl victories, Kentucky is tied with Iowa and Texas A&M for the third-longest active bowl winning streak.
