Things are already getting a little chippy before the Belk Bowl.

On Tuesday, both Kentucky and Virginia Tech took the field before a noon kickoff at the Belk Bowl, and that’s when things got a little heated between the two teams. Players from the two sides had to be separated before the game started, added a little tension to the New Year’s Eve game.

Below is the video of the two teams getting into the pregame scuffle.

That should make things pretty interesting for the Belk Bowl.

Virginia Tech comes into the game with an 8-4 record and Kentucky sits at 7-5. The Hokies are a two-point favorite heading into the contest. Kickoff is scheduled for noon and the game will air on ESPN.
