RECAP

Illinois took a 7-0 lead after a 34-yard TD run, but Iowa's Don Commack tied the game. After giving up two TDs in the 3rd quarter (including a 63-yard TD run), Iowa marched 89 yards for a TD. A fumble recovery late in the game gave Iowa the ball at midfield with a chance to tie, but turned it over on downs. It was the 8th straight loss to Illinois.
