Cam Ward's decision to only play the first half of Miami's 42-41 loss against Iowa State in this year's Pop-Tarts Bowl proved to be extremely controversial, at least from an outside perspective

The Hurricanes, however, knew what to expect going into the game. Bruce Feldman of The Athletic provided more insight into Ward's decision:
