The Rutgers Scarlet Knights battled the Iowa Hawkeyes tougher than anyone thought they would coming into the game. They trailed just 7-0 at the half and tied the game in the fourth quarter when Chris Laviano connected with Andre Patton in the end zone. Akrum Wadley ended up sealing the game for Iowa with a 26-yard touchdown down the sideline, giving them a 14-7 lead.
It wasn’t pretty but Iowa escaped their first road game with a win. Even though they weren’t in a super hostile environment like The Big House in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the first road game of the season tends to cause problems for teams.
