IOWA CITY, Iowa -- On this date 23 years ago, the University of Iowa played its first night football game inside Kinnick Stadium. On Saturday, the Hawkeyes turned the lights out on an Illinois State offense that averaged 463.6 yards and 38.3 points a game in 2014.
“It was a good day, a lot of fun out there, and we enjoyed it,” said UI senior defensive end Drew Ott, after the Hawkeyes’ 31-14 dismantling of the No. 2 ranked team in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS).
