Here are a few things to watch out for.

The big matchup in this one will be how the Hawkeyes defend the Georgia Tech offense. Georgia Tech runs the triple option offense, which not a lot of other teams run. This fact and the unorthodox nature of the offense makes it very tough to defend. You can see how hard it is to defend when you see that Georgia Tech averaged over 300 yards per game rushing this year. That is a pretty astounding number when you think about it, and the Hawkeyes defense will have their hands full with it.

For the Hawkeyes, they are trying to overcome injuries to key players in time for the bowl game. Quarterback Ricky Stanzi was injured during the year and missed the last two games. He underwent surgery on his ankle and appears like he will be ready to play in the game. His presence back in the huddle will mean a lot to the Hawkeyes that did not really look the same without him.
