RECAP

The loss was the only one of the year for Iowa. Iowa had not beaten Michigan since 1924. Michigan took a 3-0 lead in the first quarter on a field goal by Ron Kramer. Iowa then scored two touchdowns and led, 14-3, at halftime. One of the Iowa touchdowns was set up when Michigan's quarterback was sacked and fumbled with Alex Karras recovering the ball for Iowa. Michigan's third-string halfback, Mike Shatusky, scored two touchdowns in the second half, a three-yard run in the third quarter and a two-yard plunge with one minute and six seconds remaining in the game.
