Well, they did say fiesta...
LSU is back in a New Year’s Day Bowl and back in one of the former Coalition/Alliance/BCS Bowls for the first time in seven years, taking on the defending national champs UCF in the Playstation Fiesta Bowl.
Bowl games themselves tend to be offseason rorschach tests — fans will see what they want. Real conclusions tend to come with the benefit of hindsight in the coming years. Sometimes young and hungry teams come out and look ready for a next step. Sometimes they take a beating that also helps show them that path.
