PASADENA, Calif. -- No. 6 Stanford was a thorn in the fifth-ranked University of Iowa football team's side, handing the Hawkeyes a 45-16 New Year's Day defeat in the 102nd Rose Bowl Game presented by Northwestern Mutual.
The Cardinal scored a Rose Bowl record 35 first-half points and led 38-0 early in the second half. The deficit was too great to overcome, despite the Hawkeyes winning the second half, 16-10.
"We're disappointed at the outcome of the game today, the way we played," said UI head coach Kirk Ferentz.
