The Iowa Hawkeyes put together perhaps their best half of football all season when they closed out at 22-0 win over Rutgers a week ago. After a slow start, Iowa ultimately gained a season-high 402 yards of total offense, including another season-high 223 yards passing. The breathing room from the offense allowed the defense to tighten its hold on Rutgers and do what it has always done best: create turnovers.
For the first time all season, we got truly complementary football. And the result is a share of the Big Ten West division title.
