RECAP

Iowa's half back Ed Donovan scored the go ahead touch down in the 4th quarter to lead the Hawkeyes to a 14-12 victory over Illinois. Donovan finished the game with 13 carries for 50 yards and led the team with 2 catches for 27 yards and a touch down. After the game Ed got the news that his grandfather, E.L. Donovan, from Solon, Iowa had passed away that morning. Ed's father Ralph said, "we decided to wait until after the game, that's the way grandpa would have wanted it."
