Here is Pat Forde's preview of all the Bowl Games: Dashing through the bowls ... and coaching moves - College Football - Rivals.com
"Who has momentum? Both teams come in off losses, but at least the Cyclones have the memory of stunning Oklahoma State on Nov. 18 to buoy their self-esteem.
Who has motivation? Scarlet Knights should have greater fan support and a chance to show New York City why it might be worth the trip to Piscataway in the future to support what passes for the city’s college football team.
Who wins a mascot fight? If Rutgers brings the knight in the body armor, it wins easily. If it only brings the doofus in the big-headed costume, call it a draw with Cy the costumed cardinal who reps Iowa State.
Dash fact: Iowa State will have to beat Rutgers by 74 to have scored more points than it has allowed on the season. The Cyclones haven’t had a positive scoring differential in a season since 2005.
Dash pick: Iowa State 20, Rutgers 19. Not a 74-point victory, but it’ll do."
Favorite line from the whole article: "Who wins a mascot fight? Please, let the Sooner Schooner run over Herky the Hawk."
