Camping World Independence Bowl (ACC vs. SEC): Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets vs. Arizona Wildcats

Where: Independence Stadium—Shreveport, LA

When: December 26th, 2016

The sportswriters at CBS Sports are projecting that the Wildcats will travel back to Shreveport, LA for the Camping World Independence Bowl. Three seasons ago, the Cats, led by BJ Denker and Ka’Deem Carey, played in the Independence Bowl and routed the Andre Williams-led Boston College Eagles by a score of 42-19.

The CBS projection has Arizona going up against another formidable ground game in Georgia Tech’s triple-option rushing attack. Since the Independence Bowl is usually an ACC-SEC affair, the Cats would once again serve as a replacement team for the SEC.
