LSU will be making its sixth Citrus Bowl appearance all time, tied for most among FBS programs. LSU is 2-3 in five previous games and split a pair of back-to-back appearances to close the 2016 and 2017 seasons. LSU will also open its 2023 campaign at Camping World Stadium in the Camping World Kickoff against Florida State. 
 
Purdue is coming off the program’s first Big Ten championship game appearance Saturday night, and will be making its second Citrus Bowl appearance and third Orlando bowl appearance overall. The Boilermakers previously visited Central Florida for the 2004 Capital One Bowl against Georgia and the 2006 Champs Sports Bowl against Maryland.

Tickets for the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl are available via Ticketmaster. Premium seating and additional offers can be found on the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl Tickets page. Groups of 10 or more may call the Florida Citrus Sports offices at 407.423.2476.
