RECAP

Tom Poholsky got the start at QB, and on the opening drive, drove to the 9-yard line before settling for a Rob Houghtlin 27-yard field goal. Mark Stoops recovered a David Eldridge fumble at the Wildcat 21, but Poholsky was sacked on second down and the Hawkeyes failed to reach the goal line. Houghtlin again came in this time for a 21-yard FG. He later added a 19-yard FG. Poholsky was replaced with Chuck Hartlieb late in the third quarter, and the senior QB took the Hawkeyes on a 74-yard drive with Richard Bass scoring on a 2-yard run for Iowa's only touchdown.

Arizona had a chance to take the lead with 4:54 left in the game and Iowa leading 15-14, but Gary Coston, the nation's second most accurate field goal kicker last season, missed from 46 yards.
