The Iowa defense was uncharacteristically bad in the first half Friday's game against Rutgers.
After Kaden Wetjen took the opening kickoff to the house to put Iowa up early, the Rutgers offense had its way with the Iowa defense.
Rutgers put up 21 first-half points, and were spreading the ball around through the air and on the ground as they had a brilliant first half on offense.
Luckily for the Iowa defense, the offense continued its run of stellar play, matching the Rutgers offense point for point.
In the locker room at halftime, the message was simple for the Iowa defense, treat the game like it is 0-0, and keep your foot on the gas.
