When it was announced that No. 3 Florida would be playing No. 21 Louisville in the Allstate Sugar Bowl, many laughed at the pairing, wondering how a two-loss team from the Big East would compete with a team that nearly made the national championship game.

On Wednesday night however, it was the Cardinals that would get the last laugh, thumping the Gators 33-23 in a game that wasn’t close from the onset.

It was an inauspicious start for Florida (11-2), but the team who overcame several rough starts this season was unable to find the second-half magic against Louisville (11-2) it seemingly conjured with ease during the regular season.
