It was a back and forth game, but the Hawkeyes fatal mistake was giving up a safety in the 3rd quarter to break the back and forth. Minnesota would go on to score another touchdown in the 4th quarter to extend the lead to 8. Final score was 31-23. Head coach Frank Lauterbur and other players were calling out Iowa fans for not being vocal enough after the game.

HIGHLIGHTS

FULL GAME

PLAYER GAME QUOTES

I've been here four years, and I guess it would be nice if we had a cheering section that yelled "deffense", like other cheering sections do, but really I can't complain about the Iowa fans. We just have to get better as a team.
-- Brian Rollins

COACH GAME QUOTES

Where the hell is some music? Give us some music.
-- Frank Lauterbur
Lauterbur yelling at the band during Minnesota's final drive against the Hawkeyes.

Our players want to fight, but I don't know if there are enough people around here that want to fight. All people want to do is talk about why we lose and how often we lose. They don't give these players something to fight for, or something to believe in. Some damn fine men stood on that field today. I wonder how many people would do the same thing.
-- Frank Lauterbur
Post game press conference where coach Lauterbur was yelling at the media members about fan support.
