Off to the Sugar Bowl

The bowl Gods have spoken and No. 3 Florida will play No. 21 Louisville in the Sugar Bowl on January 2, 2013. Kickoff for the Sugar Bowl is at 8:30 at the Superdome in New Orleans! Florida will be playing in the Sugar Bowl for the ninth time while Louisville will be making its first appearance.

In my biased opinion, this will be an easy game for Florida, but here are three reasons why the Sugar Bowl will still be worth watching:

1. Louisville head coach Charlie Strong previous coaching resume includes multiple positions at the University of Florida.
2. Rumors are flying about Charlie Strong leaving Louisville for other schools so there is a chance he won't even be coaching Louisville in the Sugar Bowl. 
3. Florida juniors Matt Elam, Dominique Easley, Sharrif Floyd and Jordan Reed may be playing their last game as Florida Gators since they are all eligible to enter the NFL draft.

Bottom line, this game will be drama filled even if it isn’t a close game!
