2010 Insight Bowl Game Preview:
Two defensive-minded teams will battle it out in Tempe when The Big 12's Missouri Tigers and Big Ten's Iowa Hawkeyes clash. The Tigers come in ranked sixth in points allowed, while the Hawkeyes placed seventh. It's going to be great to see which team can crack the other team's defense first!
Missouri's offense was good enough to hand Oklahoma its first loss of the year, and it's led by quarterback Blaine Gabbert and wide reciever TJ Moe. Gabbert's 2,752 passing yards and 15 touchdowns, along with Moe's 893 yards and six scores, made the Tigers a scoring machine. This could pose a problem for Iowa, which is coming in with a three-game losing streak where they gave up most consecutive points during the season.
Quarterback Ricky Stanszi and running back Adam Robinson will help buoy Iowa's defensive miscues, but it will be interesting to see whether the game will be close and then slip away from the Hawkeyes. In their five losses this year, Iowa's defense gave up late, fourth quarter scores, something it can't do against a tough Missouri squad.
