GAME PREVIEW: LOUISVILLE the Sugar Bowl; a 12‑1 record last year propelled by a defense that finished No. 1 nationally by allowing only 251.5 yards per game; and a strong recruit‑ ing foundation. A former Florida defensive coordina‑ tor, Strong recruited well in the talent‑ laden Sunshine State, with the 2014 Louisville roster featuring 29 Florid‑ ians. Three players in particular have game‑changing skills. Senior wide receiver DeVante Parker, a Louisville native who missed the first seven games this year with a broken foot, is a potential first‑round NFL pick next spring. In the 42‑31 loss to Florida State, Parker caught nine passes for 214 yards. In the 38‑19 win at Boston Col‑ lege a week later, he snared eight passes for 144 yards and a touchdown. Fifth-year senior running back Michael Dyer spent his first two college seasons at Auburn and rushed for 143 yards as a freshman in the Tigers' BCS National Championship Game win over Oregon.
