Tennessee offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Joey Halzle met with media on Friday and discussed preparing for the Vols’ matchup against Iowa in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl.
“Iowa, obviously, you can see on tape, extremely well-coached,” Halzle said. “They play extremely physical. They tackle well in space. They scheme well. They are just a very sound, solid, strong defense from top to bottom. You see a lot of physical play up front, especially from their defensive line, their linebackers, they like to play physically, get their hands on people. They shed blocks. There is a reason their defensive numbers are the way they are. It is all the way to the back end.”
Kickoff between the Vols and Hawkeyes is slated for 1 p.m. EST on New Year’s Day at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida.
