RECAP

Phil Blatcher returned the opening kickoff 69 yards to set up a 30 yard field goal by Scott Schilling. The Hawkeyes wouldn't threaten to score again until the 4th quarter when they were given good field position on a muffed Wildcat punt return. Iowa eventually turned the ball over on downs ending any hope of challenging the Wildcats on the day. The Hawkeyes played 3 quarterbacks on the day, but only were able to gain 44 yards passing. Jon Lazar was Iowa's leading rusher with 38 yards.
