Lovie Smith’s Opening statement:
“Looking at today's game, of course, you have to give Iowa credit. They played well and did what they had to do under weather circumstances. They played a smart physical football game. Looking at our team, we did not. We didn't play as well as we needed to. We needed to establish the run on the offensive side, try to keep the ball as much as we could. A lot of those things you need to do to win and we didn't. As far as reasons why, injuries plagued us a little bit.
