Iowa Wins the Orange Bowl

I'm afraid I bought into the hype about Georgia Tech's vaunted triple option offense. GT unstoppable force, let me introduce you to the Hawkeye immovable object. The Iowa defense totally ruled the day holding the GT to 142 yards rushing and 12 passing.

Quarterback Ricki Stanzi returned after missing the last two games with an ankle injury. Unlike his previous 9 victories that were done with a nail biting wing and a prayer he controlled the ball and threw for 231 yards and 2 TDs.

Congratulation Coach Ferentz and the entire Hawkeye Team. You have given us all a season to remember.
