After reports that Virginia Tech and Kentucky had to be separated at an event over the weekend prior to the Belk Bowl, the two teams had to be separated multiple times during pregame warmups.
There was a heated exchange between the two teams that led to punches being thrown. Multiple reports claim that a Virginia Tech player took a swing at Kentucky quarterback Lynn Bowden.
Video that surfaced appears to show Bowden as the player who threw the punch at a Virginia Tech player. This could have been retaliation for an earlier punch, but either way a punch was definitely thrown.
