MIAMI — Stymied by the Iowa Hawkeyes’ swarming defense, Georgia Tech found itself out of options.

No. 10 Iowa solved Tech’s explosive triple option and Ricky Stanzi threw two early touchdown passes for a 24-14 victory Tuesday night in the coldest Orange Bowl ever.

Temperature at kickoff was 49 degrees, and Tech’s offense was slow to warm up. The ninth-ranked Yellow Jackets averaged 35 points during the regular season, but their only score in the first three quarters came on Jerrard Tarrant’s 40-yard interception return.

“This was Hawkeye weather,” Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. “We feel right at home right now.”

The Hawkeyes (11-2) earned their first Bowl Championship Series win, matched the school record for victories and could claim their highest final ranking since finishing No. 3 in 1960.

Georgia Tech (11-3) totaled a season-low 155 yards.
