Iowa beats Wisconsin!

The Hawks are going bowling!
Oh Hellz Yeah

Taken from Hawkeye Sports

“MADISON, WI — Iowa brought rain to the home-season finale for No. 19 Wisconsin in more ways than one Saturday, as the Hawkeyes scored 20 unanswered points to pull out a wet 20-10 upset on Barry Alvarez Day.

The governor of Wisconsin had declared Saturday “Barry Alvarez Day” across the state in honor of the Badgers head football coach, whose head coaching career ends after 16 years. Alvarez, who stays on as UW’s athletic director, had his last game inside Camp Randall Stadium before a record crowd of 83,184 and was honored by former Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala and former Iowa football coach Hayden Fry after the game.

The victory was needed for Iowa (6-4, 4-3 Big Ten) to become bowl eligible and avoid three-straight losses. Wisconsin falls to 8-3 overall and 5-3 in the conference for the season. By beating the Badgers for the fourth-straight year, the Hawkeyes retain possession of the Heartland Trophy for the second year of its existence. “

CHICAGO (AP) - Ross Lane caught a 9-yard touchdown pass from Brett Basanez with 42 seconds remaining to give Northwestern another wild victory, a 28-27 comeback win over Iowa on Saturday.

After Tyrell Sutton scored on a 1-yard run to bring the Wildcats to within six with 2:10 remaining, Reggie McPherson recovered the onside kick at the Iowa 47.

On second-and-2 at the 24, Basanez ran for 6 and Iowa committed a personal foul, putting the ball on the 9. Basanez hit Lane on a slant in the end zone for the winning score, helping Northwestern overcome a 24-7 halftime deficit.

It’s the second time Northwestern has pulled out a game in the waning moments. Last month, the Wildcats beat Purdue with a touchdown in the final two minutes, a week after holding on to beat Wisconsin in a 51-48 shootout. They also lost to Penn State in September when the Nittany Lions scored with 51 seconds remaining.

With the win over Iowa, Northwestern (6-3, 4-2 Big Ten) remained in contention for the conference title and became bowl-eligible. Iowa (5-4, 3-3) needs to beat Wisconsin or Minnesota to become eligible for the postseason.

Too Much Buckeye
Iowa ran into a buzzsaw in Ohio Stadium a dropped its Big Ten season opener for the second straight season. The Hawkeyes, however, did the same a year ago and then rattled off seven straight league wins.

Troy Smith threw two touchdown passes to Anthony Gonzalez and ran for another score and No. 8 Ohio State’s defense shut down No. 21 Iowa in a 31-6 victory Saturday.

Iowa (2-2, 0-1 Big Ten) finished with 18 rushes for minus 9 yards as A.J. Hawk and Mike Kudla each were credited with 1 1/2 sacks for 15 yards in losses. The Buckeyes harassed Iowa quarterback Drew Tate all day, sacking him five times for minus 43 yards.

The Hawkeyes, averaging 428 yards per game, mustered just 70 through the first three quarters and ended up with 137. They were forced to punt on their first seven possessions, running one play in Ohio State territory - by that time the Buckeyes were in control 24-0.
