I saved his bowl picks to see how they turned out, Iowa's "limited backfield" ended up doing just fine 
Tuesday, Jan. 5
8 p.m. (FOX) ORANGE: No. 9 Georgia Tech (11-2) vs. No. 10 Iowa (10-2)
The Jackets showed over their last two games that they're mostly helpless to stop a power running attack. Unfortunately for the Hawkeyes, their limited backfield (103rd nationally in rushing) isn't likely to take advantage. Given a month to prepare, their stout defense should get a handle on Tech's triple-option, but coach Paul Johnson is likely to throw in some wrinkles. Iowa's offense may be too limited to keep up.
