RECAP

Ohio State jumped out to a 21-0 advantage in the first quarter and Iowa could never answer until the fourth quarter, when the Hawkeyes were able to score two touchdowns to make the game respectable. It was Iowa's first touchdown in 10 quarters of game play, dating back to the Penn State game. The Hawkeyes had their chance to score earlier in the second quarter but dropped two passes in the end zone.

COACH GAME QUOTES

Bob Commings In my three years at Iowa, I have never been prouder of a team. And that is not postgame bullshit. The only things that we did wrong was try too hard and make too many mistakes. If you had put Indiana or Northwestern uniforms on them we would have beat them. Just looking at the Ohio State uniforms made our players too anxious -- causing mistakes.
