Ferentz's troops look to stop Urban Meyer and the Gators. The Hawkeyes will be fired up here, looking for big mo heading into the offseason. These are two very evenly matched football teams and this should be a classic matchup. Both teams enter this game on a high note as the Gators beat FSU to end the season and Iowa beat Minnesota and also won on the road in Wisconsin. Iowa is used to this stage, and should out physical the Gators here. Dominant teams off a game in which they gained 7.25+ yards/play that have outgained opponents by 1.2+ YPP vs. an average team (+/- 0.6 YPP) are 34-15 (69%) over the last 5 seasons. I like Ferentz in this coaching match-up as well. Two stars on the Hawkeyes here.
