The Iowa Hawkeyes may be entering the Outback Bowl at 8-4, but they’re one of the hottest teams in all of college football. The defense has stepped up and locked down three consecutive teams, including one of the truly elite teams in the country.
For as dominant and impressive as the defense has been, the Florida Gators must be prepared for the Hawkeyes’ explosive run game.
Iowa shocked the world by handing the Michigan Wolverines their first loss of the season, 14-13. It then stepped up with a 28-0 blowout of the Illinois Fighting Illini and dominated the Nebraska Cornhuskers 40-10.
