The first half of the Pop-Tarts Bowl between the Miami Hurricanes and Iowa State Cyclones features a lot of action that had nothing to do with football. During the second quarter, Miami defensive linemen Simeon Barrow Jr. and Marquise Lightfoot were not too thrilled with each other, and their words eventually led to punches.

But as the No. 13 Hurricanes (10-2) prepare to wrap up their 2024 season in the Pop-Tarts Bowl against the No. 18 Iowa State Cyclones (10-3) on Saturday (3:30 p.m., ABC) at Orlando’s Camping World Stadium, coach Mario Cristobal still senses a drive in his team to finish what it started and close the season on a high note.

Miami quarterback Cam Ward didn’t take the field for the second half of Saturday’s Pop-Tarts Bowl in Orlando, but Hurricane fans shouldn’t be worried. Miami backup quarterback Emory Williams started for the team to open the third quarter and immediately led the Hurricanes on a touchdown drive.
