NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A Kentucky football roster decimated by opt-outs, injuries and transfers looked overmatched in a 21-0 loss to Iowa in the 2022 Music City Bowl.
The loss snapped the nation’s longest active nonconference winning streak at 20 games, which included four consecutive bowl victories for the Wildcats. Iowa was able to obtain some revenge for Kentucky’s Citrus Bowl win last season as the two teams bookended 2022 with bowl games against each other on New Year’s Day and New Year’s Eve.
UK was shut out for the first time since a 21-0 loss to Georgia on Oct. 19, 2019.
