After a great finish to the 2024 regular season for Florida, and a rough collapse for Tulane, this bowl should set the narrative for both sides going into the offseason.
Florida was floundering with a 3-5 start, but it reeled off three straight wins, head coach Billy Napier got a vote of confidence, and now things are beginning to look up in a rough three years in his era.
The powerhouse program that’s supposed to be playing for national titles hasn’t won a bowl since pushing past Virginia in the 2019 Orange.
Tulane was deep in the mix for the College Football Playoff at 9-2, but losses to Memphis and then to Army in the AAC Championship spoiled that.
Head coach Jon Sumrall is a good one, the program has become a regular on the bowl circuit – losing to Virginia Tech last year in the Military and shocking USC two seasons ago in the Cotton.
