The Insight Bowl at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Arizona has seen plenty of changes over the past decade. The location has changed -- from Glendale to Tempe -- the name has changed -- Insight.com to just Insight -- and the teams have shifted, finally settling on a Big Ten vs. Big 12.
Insight Bowl: Iowa Hawkeyes, Missouri Tigers Battle In Tempe
On Tuesday night, a depleted Iowa Hawkeyes squad battles the Missouri Tigers at Sun Devil Stadium. The Tigers finished the regular season at 10-2, ranked No. 12 in the BCS. The Hawkeyes, on the other hand, finished the season at 7-5, losing their final three games of the year.
Iowa has had a rough bowl season already, weathering a drug scandal while dismissing what seems like half its team ahead of the bowl game. First there was Derrell Johnson-Koulianos' arrest for a litany of drug charges highlighted by allegations he ran a "drug house." Running back Adam Robinson was suspended shortly thereafter and the Hawkeye exodus began. Transfers, suspensions, drug charges, oh my.
Missouri’s December has been much more relaxing. As the Hawkeyes deal with turmoil in their program, the Tigers have flown under the radar. Missouri hit a midseason roadblock, dropping back-to-back games against Nebraska and Texas Tech, but recovered to finish the season strong, winning its final three games.
The Insight Bowl kicks off at 10 p.m. EST on Tuesday, Dec. 28 on ESPN.
