Iowa State prepares for Pop Tarts Bowl against Miami
December 17th, 2024 by Ric Hanson
In an era known for opt outs Iowa State and Miami appear to be all in for their meeting in the Pop Tarts Bowl. Hurricane star quarterback Cam Ward says he is playing and Cyclone receiver Jaylin Noel says he and the other ISU seniors will play in the December 28th game in Orlando.
It matches two teams that barely missed out on a spot in the college football playoff.
Noel says the Cyclones want to end a record breaking season with a win. ISU is 10-3 and will be searching for its first 11 win season in program history.
Iowa State coach Matt Campbell on the lack of opt outs for both teams.
Campbell credits the senior class for being all in on the bowl game.
Miami ended the regular season with a record of 10-2.
