"We are so excited to be here," said UofL head coach Jeff Brohm at the introductory bowl press conference. "Our players are excited to be in the warm weather to get ready to face a tough Toledo team. We've had a good week of preparation and are thrilled to be in Florida. Toledo is a good football team and I know our guys will be ready to play."Â
Louisville, which is playing in a bowl game for the fifth consecutive season, faces a stiff challenge in southeast Florida against a solid Toledo team, which won eight games and have one of the nations finest defenses.

The Rockets have the nation's No. 3 ranked defense (247.8 yards per game) and held opponents to 14 points or fewer seven times. Toledo also led the Mid-American Conference in virtually every significant team stat on both sides of the ball, including scoring offense (31.6) and total offense (421.8).
