Hawkeye air attack too much for Gophers as Iowa retains Floyd of Rosedale with a 48-31 win

Iowa Hawekeye football is not typically known for explosive offensive plays and racking up points. But against the Gopher defense today it was big plays and 314 yards of passing as Iowa cruised to a 48-31 win, retaining Floyd of Rosedale.

In their prior game, the Gopher defense was susceptible to big plays to Maryland while giving up 42 points. Today was much of the same. The Iowa Hawkeys accumulated 422 total yards, scored 48 points in large part due to converting 10 of 19 on third down and those conversions going for an average of 19 yards.
