The Outback Bowl features two teams whose records could easily have been better than they were. On one hand, you have Iowa, whose losses (to Northern Illinois, Ohio State, Michigan State and Wisconsin) were to teams with a combined 45-6 record. Then there is LSU, which beat Auburn, but lost at Alabama, at Georgia and at Ole Miss.

The Hawkeyes are 14-11-1 all-time in bowl games, while LSU is 22-18-1, though the Tigers have dropped three of their last four.

LSU lost on its only other trip to Tampa with a 23-10 defeat against Syracuse in the 1989 Hall of Fame Bowl.
