AH TV: Gary Barta, Kirk Ferentz and Iowa seniors look ahead to the Outback Bowl
IOWA CITY, Iowa – Some of the key seniors on the Iowa football team, including quarterback C.J Beathard and defensive back Desmond King, met with the media on Sunday to talk about facing Florida in the Outback Bowl.
The seniors have yet to win a bowl game and that is one of the goals they set for this season.
Iowa earned a fifth invitation to the Outbowl Bowl since the 2003 season by winning its final three regular-season games against Michigan, Illinois and Nebraska. The 40-10 victory over Nebraska helped propel the 8-4 Hawkeyes into the Outback Bowl over the 9-3 Cornhuskers.
The Outback Bowl will be played on Jan. 2 in Tampa, Fla.
Iowa has a 2-2 record in the Outback Bowl, which includes splitting two games with Florida. Iowa defeated the Gators 37-17 in the 2004 Outback Bowl, while Florida won two years later by a score of 31-24.
Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz also addressed the media on Sunday, along with UI Athletic Director Gary Barta.
Here are several interviews with the players and with Ferentz and Barta from Sunday's press conference.
