RECAP

C.J. Beathard threw three touchdown passes and the Hawkeyes knocked the Cornhuskers out of Big Ten title contention and sent Wisconsin to the Big Ten championship game. LeShun Daniels Jr. ran for 158 yards and two scores and George Kittle caught two TD passes. Iowa broke open what was expected to be a tight game with a 75-yard TD run by Akrum Wadley and a 77-yard touchdown throw from Beathard to Riley McCarron in the first quarter.
