2011 Sugar Bowl Game Preview:
Two teams who finished the season strong will go head-to-head in this year’s Sugar Bowl. The Arkansas Razorbacks and Ohio State Buckeyes ride six- and five-game winning streaks, respectively, into New Orleans. Arkansas’ streak has seen them put up a gaudy 42.5 points per game behind the arm of Ryan Mallett (3592 yards, 30 TDs for the season) and legs of Knile Davis (1183 yards, 13 TDs). And while the loaded SEC saw other teams garner the press, Arkansas quietly put together one of the best teams, its tremendous offense buoyed by a much-improved defense that ranked 34th in the nation, up from 89th last year.
Is that enough to keep the Ohio State Buckeyes from going 0-10 against SEC teams in bowl games? While quarterback Terrelle Pryor is no stranger to the big stage, it will probably be up to cornerback Chimdi Chekwa, safety Jermale Hines and OSU’s top-10 defense to contain Mallett and Davis. They are firing on all cylinders, however, winning four in the aforementioned five-game winning streak by an average of 24 points. If this recent history is any indication, one team should be a dominant force at the Sugar Bowl. The question is— and why we’re so excited to watch—which one will it be?
2010 Sugar Bowl Game Preview:
The 2010 Sugar Bowl will be a legendary college football bowl game. The Sugar Bowl will matchup the undefeated Cincinnati Bearcats against the defending national champion Florida Gators. The 2010 Sugar Bowl will also be the last college football game for legendary Gators quarterback Tim Tebow. Will Tebow get a victory in his final college game or will Cincy upset Florida to cap their Cinderella season? Expect the 2010 Sugar Bowl to be a great football game.

The Utes remained undefeated all season long, earning them a BCS Bowl berth. This should be a fantastic game between two tough teams.
