If this game had taken place in the regular season instead of bowl season it would have been a bit higher on the list of upsets. Bowl season can be a strange time and sometimes upsets don't feel like they have as big of an impact. That being said, Florida was a clear favorite in this game as Vegas had them favored by 14 points.
Former Florida defensive coordinator Charlie Strong brought his guys ready to play as they jumped Jeff Driskel early and returned an interception (that bounced off a Florida player) for a TD to take a lead just 15 seconds into this game. Louisville would follow that up with a TD run and a TD pass and took a 24-3 lead on Florida with just three minutes left in the first half. The Gators pulled to within two TDs at halftime but Florida tried an onside kick and failed to start the third quarter. Teddy Bridgewater quickly captialized and put the Cards up 20 points which was simply too much for a marginal Gators offense to overcome.
