The Hawkeyes had a golden opportunity to take down another ranked opponent at Kinnick Stadium, but fell short against a tough No. 9 Oregon Ducks squad.
Iowa struggled in all three phases during a rainy, cold day in Iowa City, and they were unable to overcome multiple miscues to knock off Oregon.
The offense started the game slowly, but was able to put together a few sustained drives that turned into points. If normally sure-handed Kaden Wetjen does not fumble the ball at the 14-yard line, we would also have a very different discussion after the game.
