RECAP

The defense played outstanding, but the kicking game struggles cost the Hawks the game. Less than three minutes into the game, Reggie Roby had a punt blocked out of the end zone by Arizona's Reggie Ware for a safety. With 8 seconds remaining in the first half, Roby had another kick blocked by Ware, thwarting a 42-yard FG attempt. In the second half, Roby hit on a 36-yard field goal attempt, but then missed a 48-yard try by inches with 2:28 remaining in the game.

COACH GAME QUOTES

Hayden Fry I told my players, the first thing they have to understand is I'm not a mystic, I'm not a Jesus Christ, I'm not a magician. I tried to show them as realistically as possible that we didn't play well enough to win.
-- Hayden Fry

Hayden Fry The fans are disappointed. Iowa fans have more experience at booing than anybody in the country. But I have no animosity towards the fans. I can accept that. I don't want to encourage it, but I'll accept it.
-- Hayden Fry
