On December 4th, 2016 it was announced that LSU (7-4, 5-3 SEC) will face off against Louisville (9-3, 7-1 ACC) in the Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl.
This comes as a major disappointment for some who had visions of a National Title at the start of the season. It was also a big disappointment for those holding out hope for the Sugar Bowl, down the stretch. However, with player uncertainty (Kendell Beckwith’s knee and Leonard Fournette’s ankle) along with staff changes, a chance to go bowling is a welcomed site.
Louisville had their ups and downs this season, but this match up of a very potent Cardinals offense against LSU’s tough defense will prove to be a test for both sides.
