The Iowa Hawkeyes have breathed new life into their 2022 season after a second straight win fueled by a second straight week with something resembling an offense.
After a week of preparing for a Purdue offense that was expected to be electric, the Hawkeye defense did what it has done all season and held the Boilermakers to a season-low three points on Saturday. What was new last week was the offense holding up their end of the bargain, “erupting” for 24 points (all into the wind) over the course of five drives. Iowa looked competent before largely shutting things down in the second half.
