DeKalb band members celebrate Sugar Bowl achievements
LOUISVILLE WON. Considered by most a two-touchdown underdog, Louisville shocked the Gators and silenced the critics in a 33-23 Sugar Bowl win. Big East Offensive Player of the Year Teddy Bridgewater added another memorable performance to his
against 11 other marching bands at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome and won best marching, best overall effect, best color guard, best in their class and best overall band performance two days before a multiband performance at halftime of the Sugar Bowl.
Louisville might not have had the firepower on paper to stand up to 14.5-point favorite Florida. But the Cardinals did have Teddy Bridgewater.
