To say the Iowa offense struggled in the first half might be a gigantic understatement.
Quarterback Mark Gronowski did not complete a pass until two minutes left in the first half, and the offense struggled to move the ball downfield.
Gronowski finished the first half completely only five of 10 passes for 24 yards, and he threw an interception after throwing into double coverage.
The only points Iowa had at halftime came from a Kaden Wetjen 62-yard punt return touchdown as the offense continued searching for answers.
The third quarter was more of the same for the Hawkeye offense, and Gronowski turned the ball over again with a fumble on a bizarre play by the veteran signal caller.
