Game Capsule: LSU and Wisconsin meet up in the 2027 Gator Bowl, marking only the fifth ever meeting between the two programs, and the third time they will meet in the postseason. A series that dates back to 1971, the Tigers currently hold a 3-1 overall record versus the Badgers, with their only loss coming four years ago in a 44-17 blowout loss in the Outback Bowl, which wrapped up the 2023 season.

First year LSU head coach D. Geezy has never faced Wisconsin in his head coaching career, but dating back to his time at Tulane, he holds a remarkable 10-2 all-time record versus Big 10 opponents. He also boasts an overall 11-5 record in bowl games, including defeating Penn St. in 2016 and Michigan in 2018 to win his only pair of national championships during his 18-year career.

A very run-heavy team, the Badgers will need a big game out of RB Donny Coker (76 ovr), who rushed for over 1,200 yards during the regular season. LSU's senior-laden defensive line - DE Lawrence Hicks (85 ovr), DE Joel McFarland (81 ovr), and DT Robert Carrington (83 ovr) are the only three senior players in the team's defensive starting lineup - will be a key to slowing down the Badgers' always-potent rushing attack.

Both of these teams have had brutal schedules to deal with this year, and each of them may be better than what their records indicate heading into the postseason.
