Iowa starts strong early, leads 7-0

Host Iowa got the ball first and moved the ball at will.

Quarterback Spencer Petras had the Hawkeyes rolling, gaining three first downs on the first drive in just five plays.

However, a false start on first-and-goal from the 6 made things a bit more complicated.

But on third down, Tyler Goodson ran in for the score.
