Floyd is heading back to Iowa City for the fourth straight year.
The 112th all-time meeting between the Gophers and Hawkeyes featured everything from swinging gate formations, to fake punts, interceptions and odd play calls.
Two quick scoring drives by the Hawkeyes helped them claim an early cushion. The Gophers’ offense fought back against a depleted Iowa secondary, but mistakes littered throughout were too much in a 48-31 loss.
Gophers make adjustments to stop the run
Minnesota made some adjustments against the run, following a 315-yard trashing at the hands of Maryland. A big key was the performance of the Gophers’ linebackers and interior defensive linemen.
