No. 13 UM (10-2) wraps up Year 3 of the Mario Cristobal era on Saturday in the Pop-Tarts Bowl against the No. 18 Iowa State Cyclones. Kickoff from Orlando’s Camping World Stadium is slated for 3:30 p.m. and the game will be broadcast on ABC.

Iowa State beat the Miami Hurricanes in the 2024 Pop-Tarts Bowl. Cam Ward played the first half of his final college football game, throwing 3 TDs.

The No. 13 Hurricanes, with Heisman Trophy finalist Cam Ward leading the way one last time, scored 41 points. But the defense, missing multiple key players and lacking depth at key positions, surrendered 42 to No. 18 Iowa State as Miami lost the Pop-Tarts Bowl at Camping World Stadium in Orlando. It is UM’s sixth straight bowl loss.
