RECAP

#11 Iowa (5-1) fell behind early as its offense came out sluggish and special teams struggled. Purdue took a 15-7 lead to the intermission on the strength of two forced turnovers and a blocked field goal. An explosive 77 yard touchdown run from Mike Saunders on Iowa's first drive of the second half ignited Iowa's offense as the Hawkeyes outscored Purdue 24-6 after the break. Saunders would tack on a 26 yard score to match fullback Lew Montgomery's 2 TD's. Iowa's defense also came to life in the second half, holding the Boilermaker offense to negative 8 total yards until the 2 minute mark in the 4th quarter and registering 8 sacks on the day.
