RECAP

Iowa's seven game wining streak, and nine game unbeaten streak, came to an end with a 41-27 loss to 18th ranked Penn State. With 5:34 left in the the opening quarter, the Nittany Lions got on the scoreboard first with a 1-yard touchdown run. Iowa would match the score, and stay within striking distance trailing 17-14 at the half. The Hawkeyes came back to take a 27-24 fourth quarter lead on a 19-yard touchdown run by Sedrick Shaw, but Penn State quarterback Wally Richardson hooked up with all-American receiver Bobby Engram for two touchdowns in the last six minutes of the game to win it. Iowa quarterback Matt Sherman completed 21-28 passes for 374 yards and two touchdowns. Iowa's defense was led by Damien Robinson and Bobby Diaco who totaled 14 and 12 tackles respectively.

COACH GAME QUOTES

We put him in a deep-sea diving compressor to get the oxygen into the bloodstream quicker. We heard that the National Hockey League had discovered this a couple years ago and it really helps people recover much quicker from various types of injuries and I really think that's the reason he played today. I'm going to have him in that sucker tomorrow morning and if he comes out and it works, then I'm gonna get in it.
-- Hayden Fry
Discussing the unique treatment Sedrick had during the week to recover from a pulled groin injury

We had a very interesting and entertaining game there until the last part of the fourth quarter. We gave up a couple of long passes, but we had the guys there in position.
