LSU prepping for Outback Bowl appearance versus Iowa

The 9-3 LSU Tigers are gearing up for their appearance in the Outback Bowl New Year's Day in
Tampa against the 8-4 Iowa Hawkeyes. The Tigers are making their 14th straight bowl appearance
and 45th overall in school history. LSU is in the hunt for its 10th win of the season, which would give the Tigers a school record fourth straight 10-win season. LSU will be out to avenge a 30-25 last- second loss to Iowa on a Hail-Mary pass in the 2005 Capital One Bowl back in 2005 in their only other meeting. Tiger freshman quarterback Anthony Jennings, the hero in LSU's come-back victory over Arkansas, will get the start, replacing the injured Zack Mettenberger.. The game kicks off at noon and will be televised on ESPN. Jennings will become the second quarterback in LSU history to make his first start in a bowl game, joining Matt Flynn, who made his first start in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, a 40-3 win over Miami. Iowa hopes to capitalize on its momentum as they enter the Outback Bowl, riding a three-game winning streak. The Hawkeyes' defense is ranked seventh in the nation.
