The Hawkeyes had chances to complete an upset win over No. 11 Indiana on Saturday afternoon, but fell short.
After a disastrous first drive, where quarterback Mark Gronowski tossed an interception on his first pass attempt, the Hawkeyes settled in.
Indiana took advantage of the turnover, scoring a touchdown in two plays to take an early 7-0 lead, but Iowa was able to respond.
The Hawkeye offense was efficient through the first half, but could not put the finishing touches on drives, leaving points on the table.
The defense also struggled to make tackles in space and at the point of attack, allowing Indiana to stay afloat.
