RECAP

The Hawkeyes extended it's streak to 13 quarters without a touchdown scored, however were able to lead most of this game with 3 field goals. Utah however was finally able to crack the tough Iowa defense in the 4th quarter, scoring on a 5 yard touchdown pass. Iowa fans were frustrated with the lack of offensive production and started chanting "good bye bobby" as the game ended. Bob Commings also got into an altercation with a fan as he left the field.

COACH GAME QUOTES

Bob Commings Right now I can't fault our fans or anybody for being disenchanted with us. Right now we're by ourselves and we've got it coming. We haven't played well or coached well and deserve what we get.
