Starting quarterback Mark Gronowski was disappointed that he could not finish the Indiana game after suffering an injury early in the fourth quarter in that contest a few weeks ago.
The offense started slow, but was clicking when Gronowski went out. Backup quarterback Hank Brown was thrust into a tough situation against a tough, ranked Indiana squad, and the Hawkeyes could not complete the upset.
Luckily for the Hawkeyes, they had a bye week in week six, and Gronowski was able to rehab his injured left knee.
His status was up in the air for the rivalry game against Wisconsin last weekend, but he played most of the game.
