IOWA CITY, Iowa -- If you want a label for the 2015 University of Iowa football season after five weeks, start with “team football.”
On Oct. 3 at Wisconsin, the Hawkeye defense was on the field 9 minutes and 18 seconds in the fourth quarter. Despite the fact the Badgers started drives from Iowa’s 27 and their own 41 and 47 yards lines, the Hawkeye defense did not allow a point during a 10-6 victory.
On Sept. 19 against Pittsburgh, the fourth quarter was defined by a seven-play, 31-yard offensive drive by the Hawkeyes that consumed the final 52 seconds of a 27-24 victory.
