Who better to come to New Orleans and celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Sugar Bowl than the Alabama Crimson Tide. Making their 13th appearence in the annual game, Alabama has won several National Championships in the Sugar Bowl (1962, 1979, 1980 and 1993) and Head Coach Nick Saban returns to the Superdome - site of his only National Championship win (coaching LSU to victory in the 2004 Sugar Bowl game). For the second year in a row, The Allstate Sugar Bowl in New Orleans will feature an undefeated team in the Utah Utes. Utah becomes the first team from a non-automatic qualifying conference to play in two BCS bowl games. (Utah beat Pittsburgh in the 2005 Fiesta Bowl to complete an undefeated season at 12-0.) This will be Utah's first appearence in the Sugar Bowl.
The Sugar Bowl is an annual American college football bowl game played in the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Sugar Bowl has been played annually since 1935. Along with the Orange Bowl and Sun Bowl (also played annually since 1935), the Sugar Bowl is the second-oldest bowl game in the country, behind the Rose Bowl (first played 1902, played annually since 1916). The Sugar Bowl is also a member of the Bowl Championship Series. Presently, its official title is the Allstate Sugar Bowl after its current sponsor. |
