At least until next year, but at this rate, who knows if the 2022 Gator Bowl happens.

Go Deacs!
 
They should have dumped a bucket of baby gators on Clawson's head. Couldn't have been worse than mayonnaise.
 
Leave the 90s Deacs alone. Nobody who survived the Caldwell years deserves any grief. Don't add to their pain.
 
Undefeated in Gator Bowls.

WF has also always won in games played in Jacksonville.
 
The first Gator Bowl featured WF playing a team who had won half as many games as WF (SoCarolina came into the game at 2-3-3, with wins over Presbyterian and Camp Blanding). So did the most recent Gator Bowl. I doubt any other Gator Bowl has had that win disparity.

WF's first Gator Bowl opponent lost to Alabama and Duke by a combined score of 115-0 and closed their regular season with a home conference loss to Maryland. WF's most recent Gator Bowl opponent lost to OSU and Wisconsin by a combined score of 104-16 and closed their regular season with a home conference loss to Maryland.

WF's first Gator Bowl team gave up 50+ points to USMA (losing 54-0). So did this year's team.
