The 15th ranked Iowa Hawkeyes will play 22nd ranked Kentucky on New Year’s Day in the Citrus Bowl in Orlando. It is the Hawks’ first appearance in the game since the miracle Tate to Holloway game winner in 2005 against LSU.

The Hawkeyes are 10-3 after getting trounced by Michigan in the Big Ten Championship.  Ferentz is happy his team gets another chance to claim an 11th win.
