L   14 - 21 

No. 14 LSU scored 14-first-half points and ultimately held on to defeat Iowa, 21-14, at the 2014 Outback Bowl in Tampa. The Tigers drove 77 yards on the first possession of the game to grab a 7-0 advantage. In the second quarter, LSU capitalized on a Kevonte Martin-Manley fumbled punt at the 39-yard line, scoring seven plays later on a 14-yard rush to take a 14-0 halftime lead. John Lowdermilk provided a spark in the third quarter, intercepting QB Anthony Jennings and returning his first career theft 71 yards to the 1-yard line. The 71-yard interception return is the 12th-longest in school history. Three plays later RB Mark Weisman scored on a 2-yard rush to cut the deficit to 14-7. Midway through the fourth quarter, Iowa marched inside the LSU red zone, but a fourth down interception at the LSU 8-yard line thwarted a game-tying scoring drive. LSU scored its third touchdown on a Jeremy Hill 37-yard rush, his second score of the game, with 1:50 left to play. Iowa's Jordon Cotton returned the ensuing kickoff a career-long 96 yards to the LSU 4-yard line. The 96-yard kickoff return is the eighth-longest return in school history and longest non-touchdown kickoff return in Iowa annals. Two plays later, QB C.J. Beathard connected with Martin-Manley in the end zone for a 4-yard touchdown for the final score. QB Jake Rudock completed 9-of-22 passes for 102 yards before leaving in the third period due to injury. Beathard completed 4-of-7 passes for 55 yards and a score. Weisman rushed 18 times for 37 yards, while TE C.J. Fiedorowicz caught a game-high four passes for 46 yards. Cotton's 42.7 kickoff return average on three attempts broke the Outback Bowl record for kickoff return average. LB James Morris recorded eight tackles and reached 400 career tackles in his career -- becoming only the sixth Hawkeye to accomplish that feat.
