RECAP

The Hawkeyes jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter after two Jon Lazar touchdowns. After an Indiana turnover Iowa had a chance 1st and goal from the 6 yard line to go up 21-0, but were unable to complete a pass into the end zone. Then ended up being penalized before missing a 30 yard field goal. Indiana's starting quarterback was injured early on and freshman Tim Clifford stepped in and led the Hoosiers to two second quarter touchdowns to tie the score at halftime. The teams traded touchdowns in the third and fourth quarter. Dennis Mosley, who had been out injured the last five weeks, came back and played in the second half and led Iowa to a game tying touchdown. The Hoosiers, then kicked what would be the game winning field goal with :16 seconds left to win the game 24-21. Indiana head coach Lee Corso said "this is the most satisfying victory in my coaching career."
