BOWL OVERVIEW

It was over when ... Jonathan Dwyer's 11-yard loss late in the fourth quarter -- despite preventing a safety -- stifled what could have been the game-winning scoring drive.

Gameball goes to ... Adrian Clayborn. Iowa's defensive end disrupted Georgia Tech's offense all night, taking away aspects of the triple option, and daring Josh Nesbitt to pass it.

Stat of the game ... 29. Iowa outrushed Georgia Tech by 29 yards. The Jackets finished with 143 rushing yards -- well below their season average of 307.2.
