IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) Iowa barely acknowledged winning the Big Ten West. The Hawkeyes have much bigger goals.
C.J. Beathard threw three touchdown passes and No. 6 Iowa clinched a share of the West title and a spot in the Big Ten championship game with a 40-20 win over Purdue on Saturday.
LeShun Daniels Jr. ran for two TDs for the Hawkeyes (11-0, 7-0 Big Ten, No. 5 CFP), who'll play at Nebraska next week in search of their first 12-0 regular season.
Iowa let Purdue get within 20-13 in the third quarter.
