RECAP

The Hawkeyes got down 22-0, before they brought in sophomore quarterback Jeff Green late in the 3rd quarter. Green led the Hawkeyes back and probably won the starting job completing 12 of 23 passes for 205 yards along with 2 touchdown runs. Marion Barber had fumbled 3 times in 3 carries to aide in the Iowa comeback. Before the scoring the touchdown late in the 3rd quarter, the Iowa offense had gone 15 quarters without scoring a touchdown. Dating back to the opening game against Northwestern. The scoring rally wasn't enough as the Hawkeyes lost this one 22-20.

Jon Lazar We accomplished on thing for sure - we've got our confidence back. We know we can move the ball. We didn't give up. I can't imagine that Iowa fans weren't proud of the team they saw in the second half.
