ORLANDO (WAND) - Illinois Football is taking in everything Orlando has to offer.
Whether it is opening up their bowl gifts, messing around with the Cheez-It mascot or reaching new heights on Orlando's best amusement rides.
"I'm a bigger guy," said TeRah Edwards. "I rode some rides but I started dodging. I'm more of a 'I'll hold the bags you got it' type of guy."
And while the Illini balance work and play, Orlando native Dennis Briggs Jr. has been a tour guide both on and off the field.
"It is good to be back home" said Briggs. "Showing the guys around, taking them to some of the places I hit up growing up."
Tuesday's Citrus Bowl won't just be a full circle moment for Briggs, but also head coach Bret Bielema who won his first bowl game as head coach in this bowl in 2007. It was known as the Capital One Bowl back then.
