JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Indiana arrived in Saturday rain, but not gloom.
This was Florida, a bowl opportunity, a chance to make a national football statement, and bad weather was as relevant as horse-and-buggy travel.
"Rain is part of it," head coach Tom Allen said. "That goes away and the sun follows."
Sun is everywhere you look in this Cream & Crimson football world these days, and Allen knows it. He's coached to success last seen a generation ago under Bill Mallory. He's coached in Florida at the high school and college levels, to more success.
