The Iowa Hawkeyes seek an 11th win on the season today as they battle the Tennessee Volunteers in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl.
Iowa enters after capturing the Big Ten West title despite a series of injuries to key offensive players in quarterback Cade McNamara and tight ends Luke Lachey and Erick All.
Led by another sensational defense and group of specialists, Iowa overcame its offensive deficiencies en route to a 10-win regular season. Now, can the Hawkeyes find enough timely offense to upend the Vols?
For Tennessee, it wasn’t quite the same magical season as 2022 when the Vols burst onto the scene with 11 wins and an Orange Bowl thumping of Clemson. But, with its five-star freshman quarterback Nico Iamaleava making his first career start versus the Hawkeyes, there’s plenty of motivation for Tennessee to play well in this bowl game and to jumpstart its hopes for 2024.
Can Iowa thwart those hopes for Tennessee and instead build its own momentum for 2024?
