TEMPE, Ariz. -- The Iowa Hawkeyes were able to end their disappointing season on a positive note, beating Missouri in the Insight Bowl 27-24. Iowa's Marcus Coker punished the Tigers on the ground to the tune of 33 carries for 219 yards and two touchdowns, and the Hawkeyes were able to overcome a record-passing performance from Blaine Gabbert -- as well as two interceptions by their own Ricky Stanzi -- to come away with the victory.Gabbert completed 41 of his 57 pass attempts for a Missouri bowl record 434 yards and a touchdown, but the one pass he threw with his team driving while holding a 24-20 lead with less than six minutes to go in the game was intercepted and returned 72 yards by Micah Hyde for the go-ahead, game-winning score.
Missouri did get one final chance to come back, and managed to put together a 10-play, 38-yard drive to move the ball down to the Iowa 43. But a 10-yard pass to T.J. Moe that was originally ruled a completion, and would have kept the drive alive, was overturned by the replay booth, and Iowa's offense was able to move the ball 54 yards while running out the game's final two minutes and fifteen seconds.
