Insight Bowl Preview

Insight Bowl
Minnesota vs. Iowa State
When: Dec. 31 at 6 pm (central) on NFL Network
Where: Tempe, Ariz.

What to watch for: On paper, this game doesn't appear to be one of the more exciting bowl games of the season. Iowa State head coach Paul Rhoads did a hell of a job to get the Cyclones to its first bowl game since 2005. Both squads are 6-6. Minnesota has one of the worst offenses in the Big Ten, while Iowa State has one of the better rushing offenses in the Big 12. Alexander Robinson (below) leads the Cyclone rushing attack with 1,058 yards. The crucial blow for Minnesota is that the Gophers will be without their top receiver Eric Decker.

Prediction: This game will not be high scoring, but the Big Ten moves to 0-2 in the bowl season after this game. Iowa State wins its first bowl game since 2004 and its third bowl game ever, knocking off the Golden Gophers, 17-10
