The time for talk is over, the ReliaQuest Bowl is officially here!
The Hawkeyes have been diligently preparing for one of their toughest matchups of the season, and for them to come out on top, they will have to play traditional Iowa football with a few wrinkles.
Everyone knows the Hawkeyes thrive when the offensive line can lean on opponents and establish the running game, but Vanderbilt has one of the worst pass defenses in college football.
Quarterback Mark Gronowski will have to turn back the clock to his days with South Dakota State and have the best passing game of the season for Iowa to succeed.
