THURSDAY, DECEMBER 22

One of the positions hit hardest has been running back, where only Roy Finch and Brennan Clay remain with playing experience. Finch talked about his role as the featured back entering the bowl game:

Junior QB Landry Jones
"No one likes losing. We definitely don't want to go out there and lose. We're going to go out there and prepare to win the football game."
Soph. OL Gabe Ikard
"It's pride. We have a chance to win a 10th game again. Obviously it's not the standard we've been held to the last decade, but you want to finish with a bowl win to have a good taste in your mouth going into the offseason. You want to end on a positive note."
Junior OL Lane Johnson
"Our practices have been more physical than they have probably been all year. We're working hard and our goal is to beat Iowa. They're a good team, fundamentally sound and have a big, strong D-line, so we have to prepare for them."
BOWL TICKETS
Tickets in the official OU sections at Sun Devil Stadium are still available. Lower level seats are $67 while upper level seats are $40. Sooner fans can also help send military members to the game for as little as $10 through our Tickets for Troops program:
