2024 Citrus Bowl: Predictions and odds for Iowa vs. Tennessee
The No. 17 Iowa Hawkeyes are set to play against the No. 21 Tennessee Volunteers in the 2024 Cheez-It Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Florida. These two teams have previously met three times, with the Volunteers leading the series 2-1 against the Hawkeyes.
The Iowa Hawkeyes had an impressive 10-3 season, and even made it to the Big Ten Championship game. However, they lost 26-0 to Michigan, which helped the Wolverines secure a spot in the College Football Playoff. Nevertheless, the Hawkeyes are heading to Camping World Stadium for the third time in program history, and the second time in three seasons.
Two Hawkeyes players, Cooper DeJean and Tory Taylor, have been voted as Unanimous All-American, making it the fourth straight season that an Iowa Hawkeyes has earned this honor. To receive this recognition, a player must be chosen by five organizations, including the American Football Coaches Association. During the 2023 season, Taylor punted the ball 86 times with an average of 47.9 yards per punt, while DeJean, a defensive back, made 41 tackles, 26 solo, and 15 assists with two interceptions.
The Tennessee Volunteers concluded their season with an impressive 8-4 record, securing the third position in the SEC and qualifying for their sixth appearance at the Citrus Bowl, tied for the most invitations to Camping World Stadium in bowl history. Quarterback Joe Milton III completed 229 of 354 pass attempts for 2,813 yards for 20 touchdowns and five interceptions the 2023 season and will lead the Volunteers against the Hawkeyes.
