The season that was meant to be for the Hurricanes has ended up in a stop in the Pop-Tart Bowl against the Big 12 runner up against Iowa State.

This is not how the Hurricanes envisioned their Bowl weekend this season but now that it is here, they are looking to push towards Miami head coach Mario Cristobal's first bowl win as a Hurricanes coach. This also affects the Hurricanes and their poll position as they continue to slide down the polls.

At this point, the fans and players are just confused and frustrated about how they got to this point of the season where they are on the outside looking in. They finish in the polls as the 15/16 respectfully.
