Both Michigan and Florida enter the Citrus Bowl on Friday under the direction of first-year head coaches, with Jim Harbaugh directing the Wolverines to a 9-3 mark and Jim McElwain taking the Gators to 10-3. The contest will mark the third ever meeting between the two programs, with the Maize and Blue having come out on top in the 2003 Outback Bowl and 2008 Capital One Bowl.
Quoting Jim McElwain
“When you look at statistically what they’ve done defensively, it’s real. How they keep people out of the end zone is pretty fantastic.
