“All three segments played well, and most importantly they complimented each other well.” - Kirk Ferentz
After handing off to the running backs only 17 times in a one point loss last week to Northwestern, Iowa got back to the basics and used their run game effectively against Michigan State. Iowa’s mindset, and play calling, drastically changed this week. Iowa ran the ball on their first nine 1st down plays. The first pass call on 1st down was not until the 2nd quarter with a 14-0 lead already established.
