Last year, the Kansas State Wildcats defeated the North Carolina State Wolfpack on Dec. 28, 2023, to win the Pop-Tarts Bowl. Miami (10-2, 6-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) and Iowa State (10-3, 7-2 Big 12) enter the annual contest hoping to get their final win of the season.
The Cyclones are looking to regroup after their 45-19 loss to the No.12 Arizona State Sun Devils (11-2, 7-2 Big 12) in the Big 12 Championship on Dec. 7. Iowa State suffered setbacks during the game, including quarterback Rocco Becht's taking a brutal tackle in the fourth quarter, which momentarily took him out of the contest. Becht returned and scored a touchdown. However, Arizona State had a sizeable lead that Iowa couldn't overcome.
A win would've placed Iowa State in the College Football Playoffs. They'll try to finish their season on a high by winning the Pop-Tarts Bowl.
Miami is also looking to avenge their last defeat with a victory in the Pop-Tart Bowl. They were defeated 42-38 by the Syracuse Orange (9-3. 5-3 ACC) in Week 14 on Nov. 30.
Quarterback Cam Ward aims to have a strong performance and win in his final game with the Hurricanes before he joins the 2025 NFL draft.
Pop-Tarts Bowl: Key Players for Miami vs. Iowa State
Ward is a key player in Miami's chances of defeating Iowa State. The Heisman Trophy candidate enters the game, completing 293 passes for 4,123 yards and 36 touchdowns. His performance this season has led the Hurricanes to have one of the best offenses in the ACC.
Iowa State's defense must step up to prevent Ward from controlling the game on offense. That said, Becht's performance is important to the Cyclones' chances of winning.
He has 249 passes for 3.235 yards and 22 touchdowns. Miami's defense is also one of the best in the ACC, which can present issues for him in the Pop-Tarts Bowl.
