RECAP

The Hawkeyes had a 14-13 lead early in the fourth quarter after a 70 pass from Frank Sunderman to Jerry Reardon , it was Sunderman's second touchdown pass on the day. After another defensive stop, Iowa had the ball but turned it over when Sunderman tried to pitch the ball out to Levi Mitchel. The Minnesota blitz ruined the play and the Gophers recovered the fumble and were set up in great field position for the game winning touchdown drive with 5:50 to play. Iowa fumbled again on it's next possession, ending all hopes of a victory.

The Hawkeyes missed three field goals on the day, which could have helped change the outcome as well.

Tight end Don Osby caught five passes for 11 yards and one touchdown, while Reardon had five catches for 107 yards and a touchdown. Craig Clemons played once again on offense and had one rush and one reception, but netted negative seven yards. He also had six tackles and one punt return for 23 yards on the day.

COACH GAME QUOTES

Frank Lauterbur That was my fault, I should have sent in a different play. Yeah, I know Minnesota blitzed by sending two men in off the corner, and they moved into that defense late, but I should have had a different play in there.
