The Miami Hurricanes, the 13th-ranked team in the country, battle the Iowa State Cyclones in this Saturday's Pop-Tarts Bowl. The Hurricanes enjoyed a solid season under head coach Mario Cristobal. They finished 10-2, netting third place in the ACC standings and going undefeated at home.
They will be keen to end the season on a high with a win in this bowl game. The headline news for Miami is that starting quarterback Cam Ward will play.
Ward has enjoyed a terrific season; his NFL Draft stock has skyrocketed due to his excellent performances.
Many draft-eligible players have recently opted against playing in a bowl game, but Ward did not want to miss one final game with his teammates.
A strong performance may enhance Ward's prospects as the first quarterback selected in the 2025 NFL Draft.
The Cyclones finished their regular-season campaign with a 10-3 record and ended the season ranked 18th. Cyclones quarterback Rocco Becht will return to his home state, eager to put on a show for his teammates, friends, and family.
Head coach Matt Campbell is 2-4 in bowl games as coach of the Cyclones and will need a big performance from his players. The bookmakers have Iowa as a three-point underdog for this game.
