The Pop-Tarts Bowl is only two years old in its current incarnation, but it has already established itself as the silliest college football bowl game, complete with an edible mascot, a toaster trophy and a Pop-Tarts bath.

It was also one of the most entertaining games this year, with No. 18 Iowa State defeating No. 13 Miami (Florida) 42-41.

More importantly, Iowa State quarterback Rocco Becht earned MVP honors as he completed 22 of 36 passes for 270 yards and three rushing touchdowns in the high-scoring affair. That gave him the choice of what kind of Pop-Tart his team would eat at the postgame celebration.

Becht’s options were Wild Berry, Hot Fudge Sundae and Cinnamon Roll. He ultimately decided to send Cinnamon Roll to “mouth heaven,” making the delicious treat the latest prospect to enter the transfer portal.

When Pop-Tarts became the bowl’s primary sponsor for the first time last season, the entire winning team got to choose which Pop-Tart would be roasted and eaten. So the bowl game, where the MVP chose this year’s option, was a new challenge, and Becht was rewarded with the first bite.

Becht also made a different selection than the Kansas State Wildcats following their 28-19 win over North Carolina last season. The Wildcats ate a frozen strawberry Pop-Tart. The flavor was honored with a tribute video at this year’s game before being brought back to life.

There were many candidates who deserved the MVP title for Saturday’s game. Iowa State running back Carson Hansen had 86 rushing yards and two rushing scores as well as a receiving touchdown. Iowa State wide receiver Jaylin Noel had eight receptions for 117 yards and a touchdown.

On the losing side, Miami quarterback and Heisman Trophy finalist Cam Ward threw for 190 and three touchdowns before leaving the game at halftime. Hurricanes running back Damien Martinez rushed for 179 yards on 12.8 yards per carry and a touchdown.

The two teams combined for eight straight touchdowns in the first half, with the Hurricanes leading 31-28 at halftime.

The second half was a little quieter, but ended dramatically. Becht led the Cyclones on a 15-play, 84-yard drive that ended with him rushing for a fourth-and-1 touchdown that gave his team a 42-41 lead with 56 seconds left. Iowa State was able to intercept Miami’s Haily Mary attempt on the ensuing drive, securing the win and the cinnamon Pop-Tart at the end.
