Before Iowa can win a bowl game the Hawkeyes need to make a game of it first. Iowa has been outscored 21-0 in the opening quarter of its last two bowl games and coach Kirk Ferentz has streamlined and shortened practices as they get ready for the January 2 Outback Bowl against Florida. The Hawkeyes spent more time at home getting ready. They leave for Tampa today (Monday).
