PrintWe got a pretty good crowd last night for the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl and I would guess that we will get the same this evening for the Orange Bowl. Just one more game after tonight before we get to the National Championship Game. This evenings matchup should be nothing short of exciting. There are some dynamic players coming of both sidelines which should make it even more interesting. The Orange Bowl has been revered as one of the most prestigious bowl games. The history of the Orange Bowl goes all the way back to 1935 and in that time have been some fantastic knock 'em down drag 'em out slugfests.
Tonight's matchup features The # 9 ranked Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets against The # 10 ranked Iowa Hawkeyes. Georgia Tech finished 1st in the ACC Coastal Division with a (11-2, 7-1) record while Iowa finished 2nd in the Big Ten with a (10-2, 6-2) record. Like I mentioned above, there will be several key players in this game. Below the jump we will look at some of these players, their stats, and other relative information to the game tonight.

Tim Tebow = 1,432,219 season tickets next year. Who wouldn't pick him in the 1st round with those projections?
Iowa is the underdog though

Lets Go Hawkeyes
Ive been pumped about this game for the past month. I swear I have the strangest variety of favorite sports teams, lol
"God tells me he can get me out of this mess, but he's pretty sure you're fucked."-Braveheart
He would have more that is for sure
but look at his Avg per catch above. Imagine if he had Case Keenum or Pike or one of thsoe guys throwing it to him. He would probably have 2000 Yards receiving and 90 Catches or so…
Nesbitt’s Comp Rate is less than 50%

Plus Morgan has more of the size we would want for a DE in a 3-4 scheme
"God tells me he can get me out of this mess, but he's pretty sure you're fucked."-Braveheart
Well I want Hughes as an OLB
and we can get him in the 2nd round quite possibly. He’s got great instincts and speed and is only weak against the run… and the entire rest of our team is strong against the run to make up for that but can’t get pressure most of the time. Morgan would be great as a 3-4 DE though

Morgan is more of a 4-3 DE

Georgia tech may disagree
They run a 4-3 defense and use him as a DE.
When they go with 3 down linemen they stand Morgan up.
He is much more effective from the 4-3 DE position than from the 3-4 OLB position though.

I think the entire team may go back next year
most of them are Juniors
Tim Tebow = 1,432,219 season tickets next year. Who wouldn't pick him in the 1st round with those projections?
From what ive heard
Their entire D-Line will be back, they will lose at least 2 guys on the O-Line, 3 if Bulaga comes out. Almost everybody should be back, at least 17 or 18 of the 22 starters, which would make Iowa an early Big Ten favorite for next year. The thought of it just gets me excited

yep
Angerer, Dace Richardson on the OL, Their RT whose na,me escapes me, Possibly AJ Edds at LB, not sure if he’s a junior or senior. Otherwise this is a very junior and senior heavy team, and since their best DL (Clayborne) already said he’d be back, id imagine most of the team will return, and make a serious statement next year for the Big 10

Calloway
Kyle Calloway is their senior RT

Was a good pick
Stanzi has been doing great otherwise
Tim Tebow = 1,432,219 season tickets next year. Who wouldn't pick him in the 1st round with those projections?
As an Iowa Fan I think the thing I like most about Stanzi
Is the fact that he has a short memory. The guy can throw a few picks and then lead his team to a comeback. I think it was the Mich State Game this year when he threw like 3 or 4 picks in the 3rd quarter, and then led his team back to win on that last play slant. The guy is great mentally, which is hard to find in college quarterbacks sometimes.

Hawk fan here in Iowa...
…loved the game last night, enjoying your salivation over B Bulaga, but would like to point out that in GTs running scheme they do A LOT of chop cut blocking, which is why they were on their heads so often.
Their lines were way to small for Iowa (we’re used to playing Wisconsin and Ohio State for (site decorum) sakes. Leading up to the game everyone said we would get run all over, but our guys had the power AND the speed to overcome Coach Johnson’s triple option flexbone spread whatever he calls it.

I dont think he has ever played RT
Pretty big transition when you’re talking about going from college to pro. That’s the main reason Staley was not good over there. There is an adjustment to the speed of the game. Staley has that down. I say it makes more sense to throw Staley to the right side now that he has the speed of the game down. Start Bulaga at the LT position.

Seriously. This is the most impressive Offensive Line performance I’ve seen since Stanford’s pow’ned USC’s in that walloping.
Calloway is usually the RT, but he moved inside to RG for the game
the RT last night was a freshman, Riley Reiff. The guy that filled in for Bulaga when he was out for 3 games from the thyroid.

pro style offense
and if you watch his eyes, he makes reads, knows when to break the pocket, and rarely throws it up for grabs unless it’s back of the end zone. And as was said he has a short memory and toughness about him.
People say Iowa won in spite of him…well they also were 9-0 with him and lost the last 2 games, the big 10, and their faint championship hopes.

Seriously?
Have you seen him play? He does great on his kick outs. Are you maybe thinking of someone else? I am not being smart but I am beginning to think maybe you have the wrong guy in mind maybe
Tim Tebow = 1,432,219 season tickets next year. Who wouldn't pick him in the 1st round with those projections?
See the video
He looks slow and unimpressive.
Or maybe it’s because I’m watching Bulaga play right now too.
Bulaga looks way better.
