2005 Capital One Bowl
The 2005 Capital One Bowl was a post-season college football bowl game between the Iowa Hawkeyes and the LSU Tigers on January 1, 2005, at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Florida. Spread bettors favored LSU by seven points, but Iowa won, 30–25, when quarterback Drew Tate completed a 56-yard pass to wide receiver Warren Holloway for a touchdown as time expired. The game was part of the 2004 college football season and was the concluding game of the season for both teams.
Prior to the game, LSU head coach Nick Saban announced that he was leaving LSU to become the head coach for the Miami Dolphins. Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz also drew attention from NFL teams, but ultimately signed a contract extension through 2012. Saban and Ferentz worked together in 1993 and 1994 as assistants to Bill Belichick with the Cleveland Browns.
The game had 70,229 fans in attendance; Tate was named the game's Most Valuable Player.
LSU became the first defending BCS national champion to lose a non-BCS bowl the following year by losing this game.[citation needed]
The game was played between the LSU Tigers of the Southeastern Conference and the Iowa Hawkeyes of the Big Ten Conference. It was the first meeting between the two programs.
LSU entered the bowl with a 9–2 record (6–2 in conference). The Tigers won their final six regular season games after suffering losses to Auburn and Georgia in a three-week stretch.
Iowa entered the bowl with a 9–2 record (7–1 in conference). The Hawkeyes were co-Big Ten champions with Michigan; however, the Wolverines were granted the Big Ten's automatic BCS bid due to their 30–17 victory over Iowa on September 25, 2004.
In total yardage, the teams were fairly equal; LSU had 346 yards (71 plays) to Iowa's 334 (61 plays). The Tigers held advantages many statistical categories, such as first downs, rushing yards, turnovers and time of possession. The Hawkeyes held the advantage in passing yards, 287–228.
