MEMPHIS, Tenn. – It's Florida! It's fun 'n sun time! It's ocean and pool time!
Yes, the Boca Raton Bowl trip is a well-deserved reward for the University of Memphis football players and staff, and head coach realizes that. But, Norvell also wants to make sure his squad knows there is a purpose for this trip: a bowl game victory.
The 2016 Boca Raton Bowl is set for a 6 p.m. (CT) kickoff Tuesday, Dec. 20. ESPN is televising the contest from FAU Stadium on the campus of Florida Atlantic University.
"By finishing strong, we put ourselves in a position to go to a beautiful place like Boca Raton," said Norvell, who is making his head coach debut in a bowl game Tuesday.
