Iowa's game plan for the ReliaQuest Bowl could reportedly get a whole lot easier.
The Hawkeyes are fully immersed in their Bowl preparation for New Year's Eve, and they know Vanderbilt will be a challenging opponent.
Kirk Ferentz acknowledged that Vanderbilt's offense will be hard to stop with Diego Pavia at the helm, especially with everything he brings to the table.
Pavia, the Heisman runner-up, finished the regular season with 3,192 passing yards and 27 touchdowns, while adding 826 rushing yards and nine touchdowns on the ground.
Pavia's dual-threat ability was on full display this season, and the Hawkeyes will have the challenging task of containing one of the top quarterbacks in college football.
