The Pop-Tarts Bowl between No. 18 Iowa State and No. 13 Miami ended in dramatic fashion, with the Cyclones coming back in a shootout to take down the Hurricanes 42–41 thanks to a fourth-down touchdown run from quarterback Rocco Becht with less than a minute to play.
Becht, who finished with 270 yards passing and four total touchdowns on the day, was named MVP, and with it, earned the right to choose which of the Pop-Tarts mascots would be sacrificed in celebration of the Cyclones’ win.
