There's no love lost at this week's Belk Bowl, pitting Kentucky vs. Virginia Tech on Tuesday.

The Athletic's Kyle Tucker reports there was an altercation between the teams at Charlotte Motor Speedway event over the weekend that spilled onto social media, riling up both teams to a point they had to be separated by coaches.

Virginia Tech players confronted a few Kentucky players at the speedway and words were exchanged.

Video of the incident has emerged, but be warned, the footage contains graphic language and viewer discretion is advised:

Kentucky quarterback Lynn Bowden, a first-team All-American in the all-purpose slot, refused to mention the Hokies or anything related to the Wildcats' plan against Virginia Tech on Monday, a clear correlation to the weekend beef.

"I ain't talking about them," Bowden said. "It's the SEC, so I really can't compare another league to the SEC. I just can't do it."

Bowden says he didn't think twice about playing in Kentucky's final game.

“Them my boys. I ain’t gonna leave them out there with one last fight without me," Bowden said. "If I’m the alpha dog I gotta go out there and perform.”

Belk Bowl beef! ??

Mark Stoops later commented on the reported skirmish.

Yeah, we’ll leave some of that behind closed doors. We’ll worry about ourselves and our preparation," Stoops said.

A converted wide receiver, Bowden took over at quarterback thanks to catastrophic depth issues this season following the loss of Terry Wilson to a leg injury in September. After leading Kentucky in receptions (30) and receiving yards (348), Bowden made the switch full time and rushed for 1,235 yards and 11 touchdowns.

His game-breaker potential makes the Hokies nervous.

“You know, No. 1 [Lynn Bowden] is just a great athlete," Virginia Tech defensive coordinator Bud Foster, who is coaching his final game, said last week. "Great speed, with the ball in his hand just extremely dynamic. If you look at the stats, he’s their leading receiver, kick returner, punt returner and at quarterback their leading rusher. Just a dynamic athlete.

"He’s first-team All-American at utility, he won a national award recognized for that, just really special. Has breakaway speed, great vision and great strength. Has the ability to put his foot in the ground and get north-south and the ability to break tackles.
