Kentucky vs Iowa game preview, prediction, and breakdown for the TransPerfect Music City Bowl on Saturday, December 31

Kentucky vs Iowa TransPerfect Music City Bowl, What’s Going To Happen

Iowa had the worst rushing offense in the Big Ten and managed more than 165 yards just twice. The team was 4-0 when it ran for 125 yards or more – it’ll get there.

The Hawkeye defense will be strong enough to keep this close throughout, and that will be just enough.

Against a slew of relatively mediocre teams, Kentucky went 5-0 when rolling for at least 345 yards of total offense. Ohio State, Minnesota, and Rutgers – that last one was in a blowout with lots of the yards coming late – were the only teams to get to that mark against Iowa.

It’ll be a low scoring fight with the Hawkeye D doing just a little bit more.
