Sugar Bowl Game Information:
This years Allstate Sugar Bowl gives us a matchup of non traditional rivals from the ACC and the Big 10, but is an intriguing matchup none the less . The strength of each team lies on opposite sides of the ball, in Virginia Tech's defense against Michigan's offense.
The biggest question in this game will be whether or not the Hokies can stop Robinson. If they can do that, then the Wolverines will have a long day, if they can't, then Michigan will light up the scoreboard.
In a clash between two of the best coaches in the nation, Beamer and Hoke, who will move their chess pieces properly to get the win?
