IOWA CITY, Iowa – Three Iowa football assistant coaches met with the media on Monday and addressed multiple topics, including preparation for facing Mississippi State in the Outback Bowl.

Offensive line coach Tim Polasek, receivers coach Kelton Copeland and running backs coach Derrick Foster all spent about 30 minutes answering questions from reporters.

They reflected on the regular season, shared their thoughts on Mississippi State and looked ahead to the future from a personnel standpoint. 

Iowa will face Mississippi State for the first time in school history on Jan. 1 in Tampa, Fla. It will be Iowa's sixth appearance in the Outback Bowl.

Both teams are 8-4 and led by their defenses.

Here are five videos featuring the three assistants from Monday's press conference at the Iowa Football Complex.
