RECAP

Iowa won the game 24-14, securing the Hawkeyes' first major bowl win since the 1959 Rose Bowl. The Iowa defense limited Georgia Tech to 155 yards total offense, including just 12 passing yards. The Yellow Jackets entered the game ranked second in the nation in rushing offense. Georgia Tech was held to just 32 net yards on 20 offensive plays in the first half and rushed for just 143 net yards in the contest. Iowa quarterback Ricky Stanzi, after missing the final two games of the regular season due to injury, completed his first eight pass attempts in leading the Hawkeyes to a 14-0 advantage in the first period. Stanzi connected with TE Tony Moeaki for a 54-yard gain to set up the first score of the game, a four-yard completion to WR Marvin McNutt.
