It's Pop Tarts Bowl eve morning and the thought of consuming anthropomorphic breakfast pastries has Todd looking forward to Iowa State and Miami Saturday. The Hawkeyes will be bowling without a key piece of their offensive line next week, but there's good news on the O-line front as well as another player revealed they're returning in 2025. Call it the Kaleb Johnson Conundrum, but Iowa's ground game may have been too successful this season and it may have cost the Hawks in the transfer portal. The Bears were a dud on Thursday Night Football and one series in particular was a microcosm not only for the season but the entire organization. At 11-3 ATS so far this bowl season, Todd fires 13 more shots in the dark on games played over the next two days.
