Jordan Canzeri had a game for the ages and Iowa is SIX AND OH WOOOOOO
It's never easy, right?
Iowa dominated the game -- but not the scoreboard -- in the first half, but Illinois came out with an up-tempo attack that gave Iowa some real problems in the second half. Iowa never relinquished the lead, though, and they had perfect counterpunches to all of Illinois' punches after the break. When Illinois put together a good drive that resulted in a field goal that cut Iowa's lead to just 16-13, Iowa responded with a 75-yard Jordan Canzeri touchdown run to push the lead to 23-13.
