In the first round of press conferences both the Knights and Tigers recounted the humbling experience from those who walked with Dr. King during the Civil Rights Movement.

Both teams will make a trip to local children’s hospitals as part of the charitable effort made by the Peach Bowl to impact the patients as well as the student-athletes before New Years. A video of the event will be provided by the Peach Bowl due to space and privacy limitations.
