About No. 13 Miami (10-2, 6-2 ACC): The Hurricanes have several key veterans playing in the bowl game, including Heisman Trophy finalist Cam Ward. Ward’s offense was the best in the nation this season, averaging 44.2 points per game.

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.
