Watch: Kentucky player takes lead in flop of year competition

Kentucky DB Brandin Echols showed he can flop with the best of them

The Gator Bowl is turning ugly. Another example of schools playing in the postseason when they have no business other than raking in bucks.

North Carolina State is 8-3; Kentucky earned its invite to Jacksonville on Saturday with a stellar 4-6 mark.

So, is it any surprise these rivals — ha ha — already are having at it after whistles?

Devin Carter didn’t like something Kentucky did, so the Wolfpack wideout acted out and the Wildcats’ DB Brandin Echols just acted … poorly.

Penalty flags flew. The nastiness continued and there were more unsportsmanlike calls at the end of the third quarter in a meaningless game that turned mean for no reason.
