This is a difficult week for game balls. Iowa has few contenders. Jacob Gill was great with 138 yards receiving, including a beauty of a pass and catch from Brendan Sullivan for 59 yards. He accounts for Iowa’s first 100-yard receiving game since Sam LaPorta hit 122 yards against Kentucky in 2022, and the first wide receiver to go over 100 yards since Charlie Jones versus Minnesota in 2021 (106). Gill’s 138 yards are the most by an Iowa wide receiver since Ihmir Smith-Marsette went for 140 against Wisconsin in 2020. Of course, Kaleb Johnson had another touchdown, his 20th rushing touchdown of the year and his 21st overall.
