I looked down at the clock in the third quarter and saw there was just three minutes left. Somehow, through 42 minutes of Saturday’s game between the Iowa Hawkeyes and Rutgers Scarlet Knights, they combined to score just seven points. The Hawkeyes were leading a brutally played game 7-0 heading into the fourth quarter.
The Hawkeyes and Scarlet Knights each scored a touchdown in the fourth quarter, ending the game with Iowa on top, 14-7. In one of the worst played games in college football up to this point, the Hawkeyes escaped with a win and start conference play 1-0.
