While the so-called football experts tout Thursday’s Iowa/USC match-up asthe premier game in the Bowl Championship Series, Iowa quarterback BradBanks maintains his low-key approach when asked if it’s the biggest gamehe’s every played in. Banks, the runner-up in this year’s Heisman voting,says he’s played in a lot of big games, and the Orange Bowl is just one ofthem. Defensive lineman Colin Cole says the Orange Bowl is a great way forthe Hawks to prove themselves to the nation of doubters. Both Cole andBanks are Florida natives, so the Orange Bowl is a homecoming of sorts forthem. Cole says being part of the Iowa program’s resurgence into nationalprominence has been rewarding.
