The 110th meeting between the Golden Gophers and the Hawkeyes was never pretty but the Iowa Hawkeyes were able to scratch, claw and make just enough plays to take home Floyd of Rosedale with a 14-7 win over the Golden Gophers.
The play of the game and game-winner came early in the 4th quarter. Iowa took over on their own 46 trailing the Gophers 6-7. Akrum Wadley, the junior and back-up running back, got the handoff off-tackle left and sprinted untouched for a 54-yard touchdown. Iowa went for 2, got it and took the 14-7 lead.
The first half was utterly ugly with both teams combining for 238 yards, 3 turnovers, 6 penalties, 5 of 15 on third down and just three points.
