RECAP

Sedrick Shaw rushed for 143 yards and 3 touchdowns, defensive end Bill Ennis-Inge had 4 sacks, forced two fumbles, and fell on a loose ball. Iowa had it's first shutout since 1992.

Iowa dominated Wisconsin in every phase of the game enroute to a 31-0 victory. It was Iowa's first shutout since blanking Indiana (14-0) in 1992. In his final game at Kinnick Stadium, Ennis-Inge left his mark on the scoreboard as well as Wisconsin quarterback Mike Samuel. He recorded a career-best four quarterback sacks, forced two fumbles (which led to Iowa scores) and recovered a fumble. Iowa's defense held Wisconsin to 128 total yards, including only 26 net rushing yards. The Badgers crossed midfield only once all day against a fired-up Iowa defense. Coming into the game, the Badgers averaged 27 points and 222 yards rushing per contest. At halftime, Wisconsin had just two first downs (none for the game's first 25 minutes) and 35 total yards - four rushing. They were able to completely shut down the dominant Badger running back Ron Dayne all day long. Also playing his final game at Kinnick Stadium, Sedrick Shaw gave himself a brithday worth remembering by scoring on runs 29, 33, and eight yards. The three touchdowns tied Ronnie Harmon's career touchdown record of 32. Shaw finished with 143 yards on the ground. Matt Sherman had his best day of the year, completing his first 10 passes enroute to a 12-for-17 game and 99 yards. Iowa improved to 7-3 and tied for third in the conference to keep it's bowl hopes alive.

COACH GAME QUOTES

Hayden Fry We needed to win bad, and we looked good doing it. Anytime you get a goose egg in modern-day football it's really outstanding. It's just a wonderful feeling for our seniors to play their last game at Kinnick Stadium and do so well.
-- Hayden Fry
