Vanderbilt enters this matchup with a 10-2 record under head coach Clark Lea and a 6-2 record in the SEC. Heisman runner-up Diego Pavia led the Commodores to a school-record 10 wins and the team even came close to making the College Football Playoff.
Iowa State, meanwhile, remains a consistent program. Kirk Ferentz’s Hawkeyes are 8-4 this season and ranked 23rd, and this bowl game will mark their 13th straight playoff appearance. Iowa’s defense makes them a threat in this game, but quarterback Mark Gronowski also excels against the run.
