Iowa has the #8 total defense in the country. Allowing 102 YPG rushing. State allows 104 just FYI.

Tough matchup

Eh...look at their schedule. Can't tell much about that defense. They played a bunch of average offenses.

Yep. Iowa 8-4 overall and 5-4 in conference. Not a gimme at all. But glad it's against a brand name and a decent opponent.

The Iowa twitter machine is strong with **** talk already. January 1 can’t get here quick enough. We’re going to beat the talons off those buzzards.

It should be a good game. They are not a flashy team but a quality one. I doubt they’ve seen anything quite like our defense so I would give us the edge, but I don’t think it will be easy.

Our long national nightmare is over, and the Outback Boycott can finally come to an end.

But I've been cheating; I eat at Carraba's from time to time.

Now we need to support this team and buy as many tickets, putting as many (maroon and white) butts in the seats as possble to prove the Outback team has made a mistake passing over Mississippi State since 1999! I bought four this past week.

This game is the definition of immovable object vs immovable object.

One of those immovable objects is not like the other.

I expect that Iowa's defense is probably on par with A&M - a team we moved the ball against.

I guess I understand the angst by some on this board regarding the Outback bowl and the snub from 20 years ago but ESPN2 at noon on NYD isn't that exciting. I also don't think our fanbase will travel well to Tampa. I do like the opponent.

Reading on forums and twitter it seems like their fan base is nonplussed about going to this bowl this year. 6th trip in 16 years and an opponent without significant national cache. We have an opportunity to outnumber them significantly in fan representation it seems.

Iowa is a solid program, a lot like us. Gritty, blue collar, and physical. We are playing the Big 10 version of us

Looking forward to it. Better be ready. The SEC hate is real. They'll be stoked.
