Both College Football Playoff semifinals are Friday, and the Citrus Bowl should serve as a fine appetizer to the two semifinals.
Louisville vs. LSU. Bobby Petrino vs. Ed Orgeron. Heisman winner Lamar Jackson against the best defense he has seen all season. Derrius Guice against a stout run defense. While there’s nothing truly on the line, the game has all the ingredients needed to be memorable.
The game’s centerpiece is Jackson, who is simply electric; he has 4,928 yards of total offense and has accounted for 51 TDs (tied for 13th-most in a season in FBS history).
