LEXINGTON, Ky. -- The goal was to reach a bigger stage, to play in a better bowl.
But given the sparse record of postseason participation in University of Kentucky football history, the current Wildcats were hardly ho-hum yesterday about the announcement that this season will end where the last one did -- at the Music City Bowl in Nashville, Tenn.
"I think there's a lot of teams that are bowl eligible that don't get the opportunity to do it, so Nashville's great," wide receiver Keenan Burton said. "It's like our national championship."
The Cats' opponent on Dec. 31 is a team accustomed to winning actual national titles.
Two-time national champ Florida State will square off with UK at LP Field, and the announcement of that opponent seemed to take some of the sting out of the news that the Cats would repeat last season's bowl trip.

Play it again: UK going back to Music City
