RECAP

Tennessee scored the game's first 28 point, and led 42-7 late in the game, en route to a blowout 45-28 win. RB Mark Weisman rushed for two scores, while QB C.J. Beathard threw for two touchdowns to account for Iowa's scoring. Weisman scored on runs of three and one yard in the second and fourth quarters, respectively. The Hawkeye senior finished his career with 32 rushing touchdowns, one shy of the school record held by Sedrick Shaw and Tavian Banks.

LB Josey Jewell led all players with a career-best 14 tackles and was named Iowa's Bowl MVP. Jewell, a redshirt freshman, made his fourth career start. CB Desmond King recorded his second career interception in the third quarter (37-yard return).

The loss sparked a series of changes in the program, which would help Iowa to a 12-0 regular season record in 2015.
