Will have video of Virginia Tech and Kentucky mixing it up on the field in a minute, teams were on field for early warmups and lot of jawing, some shoving as coaches/staffers tried to separate the teams

Tensions are running high following a verbal altercation at Charlotte Motor Speedway earlier this week.

UPDATE:
Eyewitness tells me a Tech player threw a roundhouse punch at a Ky assistant coach but missed. Was pulled away by a Tech assistant
