While the fanbase is heavily focused on the ongoing search for Brian Ferentz’s replacement at offensive coordinator, we are now less than two weeks away from Iowa’s bowl matchup with Tennessee in the Citrus Bowl. It’s a matchup that has largely become an afterthought between the diminished value of bowl games in general and the ever changing world of college football.
