RECAP

An early Kinnick touchdown pass was not enough for the Hawks, as Michigan scored the last 27 points of the game. Turnovers and special teams woes doomed the Hawkeyes to their only defeat of the season. Kinnick fumbled a Michigan punt, which set up Michigan's game tying score. An Iowa drive to the Michigan 12-yard line was halted when Tom Harmon intercepted a Kinnick pass attempt for Prasse in end zone. Kinnick's only blocked punt of the season gave Michigan position for a third touchdown. Harmon sealed the game for Michigan when he snatched Kinnick's pass for the end zone and returned it 90 yards for the Wolverines' fourth touchdown.
