RECAP

The Hawkeyes turned the ball over 10 times in the loss to the Buckeyes. This was former Iowa State coach Earle Bruce's first game against the Hawkeyes as the Ohio State coach. The Hawkeyes might have been able to compete, but lost any chance with all the help they gave the Buckeyes. Iowa held Ohio State to only 185 yards on the day on mostly short fields to play with. Iowa played 3 quarter backs on the day, each of them had at least one interception. Reggie Roby completed a pass for 21 yards to Jim Swift on a fake punt in the 2nd half. Ohio State sophomore quarterback, Art Schlichter became the schools all-time passing leader passing for 58 yards on the day.

COACH GAME QUOTES

Welcome to the Salvation Army. We had a little give-a-way today. I've never been associated with an offense so nice about giving the ball away.
