Missouri coach Eliah Dinkwitz says Iowa will provide a tough challenge in the Music City Bowl. The Tigers take a 9-3 record into the December 30th game in Nashville against a Hawkeye team that is 8-4.

Drinkwitz says the Hawkeyes have been a model of consistency under Kirk Ferentz.

Drinkwitz says the Hawkeyes have a veteran coaching staff.
