Eleven years to the day after facing off in a thrilling bowl game, the Auburn Tigers and No. 14 Northwestern Wildcats meet again on New Year's Day in the Citrus Bowl at Orlando, Fla.
The teams played in the 2010 Outback Bowl, with the Tigers pulling out a 38-35 overtime victory. Current Kansas City Chiefs quarterbacks coach Mike Kafka completed 47 of 78 passes for 532 yards with four touchdowns and five interceptions for the Wildcats.
Northwestern scored two touchdowns in the final four minutes to tie the game, but the Tigers' Wes Byrum kicked a 21-yard field goal in OT and the Wildcats were unable to equalize.
