Wake Forest lost to Louisville in last year's Orange Bowl and is 4-3 in bowl games.
Connecticut defeated Toledo 39-10 in the 2004 Motor City Bowl and has a 1-0 bowl record.
Wake Forest beat Connecticut 24-13 in 2006 to tie the series 1-1.
This game features two schools with good defenses. UConn’s defense is anchored by linebacker Danny Lansanah and his 116 tackles and 13.5 tackles for loss. The Huskies are ranked 14th against the pass and allow fewer than 19 points per game. Led by Aaron Curry (96 tackles, 11.5 TFL), Wake Forest is ranked 17th against the run.
Coming off of a 21-66 embarrassment to West Virginia look for Connecticut to play inspired football.
