The Iowa Hawkeyes bounced back on Saturday with a 38-21 win over Troy. Or at least their record bounced back a bit. The feeling among Hawkeye fans is likely still quite mixed.
For half the game we again saw the offense struggle to close the door on the Trojans and again we saw the defense give up big plays. Making matters worse, we saw the special teams with their first major flub of the season as LeVar Woods’ group gave up a massive 77-yard punt return touchdown to send Iowa into halftime losing at home to a team from the Sun Belt.
