Gator Bowl 2012, Ohio State Vs. Florida: Time, TV Schedule, Odds And More
Almost five years ago, these two teams battled for the national championship with Florida defeating previously unbeaten Ohio State 41-14. Fast forward to 2012 and both teams underachieved, finishing 6-6.
The Gators will have to find some toughness; head coach Will Muschamp called his team “soft” after its 21-7 loss to rival Florida State last month. Florida has lost six of eight, but are 6-2 in the Gator Bowl.
Meanwhile, the Buckeyes will look to extend their two-game bowl winning streak, a streak that would last two years considering their ban from postseason play next season because of a series of rules violations.
