The Hawkeyes concluded their non-conference slate with a victory over UMass last Saturday at Kinnick Stadium.
Iowa jumped out to an early 20-0 lead, and they never looked back. The offense finally made an appearance as the Hawkeyes emphasized the passing game.
Quarterback Mark Gronowski came out slinging the ball early and often, and tossed a 20-yard touchdown pass to Seth Anaderson two minutes into the first quarter. He would add another touchdown pass at the end of the quarter, also to Anderson.
The Iowa offense finished the game against UMass with 435 total yards, 234 of them coming through the air as both Gronowski (179 passing yards, two touchdowns) and backup Hank Brown (55 passing yards, one touchdown) found success in the passing game.
