Iowa football began and will end 2022 playing Kentucky. After losing a tight game in the New Year's Day Citrus Bowl 20-17, The Hawkeyes have a chance at atonement, facing the Wildcats for a 2nd time at the Music City Bowl New Years Eve morning at 11 on the HRN. Both teams will be starting new QB's. The Hawkeyes will be with out Spencer Petras, hurt in the Nebraska game and underwent surgery on a shoulder. His back up Alex Padilla has entered the transfer portal. Kentucky's Will Levis has opted out of the bowl to prepare for the NFL Draft. 

  Iowa will turn to RS Freshman Joey Labas or 1st year freshman Carson May. All Big Ten Tight End Sam LaPorta plans to play after recovering from a knee injury late in the season.

  Whoever is under Center for Kentucky will stare down the double barrels of the Hawkeyes All American Jack Campbell who this past week won the Butkus award, symbolic of College Football's top LB, and the NFF's Campbell trophy, given to the nation's premier scholar athlete. Jack Campbell earned his degree this month with a 3.49 grade point average in Enterprise Leadership and Recreation Management.

  The Big Ten's best tight end and its top defensive player join us on this week's Fight for Iowa Podcast!
