The Fiesta Bowl matchup between LSU vs. UCF is eerily similar to last year. Here are the Knights, undefeated and set to take on another SEC heavyweight in an attempt to complete their second straight undefeated season and, in their eyes, defend their self-proclaimed national title. The only thing standing in the way this time is the defense-heavy Tigers.
Last year, UCF outlasted Auburn in the Peach Bowl to finish up a 13-0 season. This year, the Knights (12-0) once again won the American Athletic Conference and secured the Group of 5’s spot in the New Year’s Sixbowls.
