The Hawkeyes offense struggled in the first half with not enough emphasis on running the ball. The second half saw a comeback to take the lead 17-13, but the Hawkeyes ended the game on two three and out drives and gave up a big play to Wan’Dale Robinson. Special teams didn’t do anything spectacular in this game, and the Hawkeyes lost the turnover battle against a team with one of the worst turnover margins in the NCAA.
