Three different starting QBs -- three victories. #Bears

NCAA Football Team Stats rankings for the #Hawkeyes through all of the past week's games: unsurprisingly the Offense is dropping like a rock in most categories and even the Defense took some hits after the loss to Ohio State...

001

Meant Minnesota and Northwestern - just caught that and corrected it.

000

Exactly. Friday night should definitely be winnable. Then looking beyond that in the near term huge games at Minnesota and at Northwestern. And as Illinois just found out, you can't overlook any team in the Big Ten!

100

Iowa drops to 4-1, 1-1. Next game is at Washington Friday night (8 PM CT). The #Hawkeyes should have a real shot at victory there - but injuries could factor. If UI wins in Seattle they would complete the "gauntlet" winning 2 out of 3 - and all things considered that would be pretty damn good.

0111

FINAL: FADE TO BLACK Ohio State 31 - Iowa 14 No last second heroics possible today for the #Hawkeyes. Didn't score a TD until 4Q 9:30. OSU dominates; Smith sensational. Hawks have injuries that could impact next Friday's game. UI's rush game was non-existent - again - big problem. Final Stats...

074

And with Brown in the locker room we'll get a chance to see Hecklinski again. Even worse, Lutmer & Lee are both out/injured and apparently out for the game. All that bodes ill for the #Hawkeyes game at Washington next Friday.

3Q End: Ohio State 24 - Iowa 6 Terrible 3rd for the #Hawkeyes - all around. Brown having his worst game by far - his QB rating is a paltry 78.1, has fumbled and been picked. OSU's QB Sayin's rating is a whopping 222.7 and Smith is a highlight reel. Game is essentially out of hand. The Stats...

000

2Q End: Ohio State 17 - Iowa 6 Last 2 mins were FUBAR for the #Hawkeyes - UI's drive stalls at midfield, then OSU slices through Iowa's D like a hot knife through butter. Worst case scenario for the Hawks to end the 1H. Buckeyes get the ball to start the 2H. Games not over but... Halftime Stats...

032

DOINK!!! Let's see if that miss plays big as this game goes along. #Hawkeyes

1Q End: Ohio State 10 - Iowa 6 After disaster struck less than 2 mins into the game (Brown strip-sack on Iowa's 14) - the #Hawkeyes settled down and we've a game at Kinnick. But UI can't keep settling for FGs and Brown can't keep holding onto the ball too long. The Stats...

Welp. All of a sudden the games at Northwestern (11/07) and at Minnesota (10/24) look a bit more daunting. But time to worry about those later. Today the #Hawkeyes focus is 100% on the "Nuts" from Ohio...

With the kickoff upcoming at 2:39 PM CT - here is the Game Info for the #Hawkeyes - #Buckeyes - including the #B1G officiating crew. Great weather for today's game.

The #B1G Availability Report this morning for the #Hawkeyes - Ohio State Game...

We were just discussing that..m

Are we all Northwestern fans tonight?! I think so. Watching so-called blue blood teams get their asses kicked by underdogs brings a certain amount of satisfaction. Not to mention the whole Iowa State thing. #B1G

And for the icing on the cake, we officially know who the guest picker is for College Game Day...

I've shared this before. Last time College Game Day was in IC (09/30/06 - also vs. Ohio State) 2 of our sons got to meet the great Lee Corso - they still talk about it 20 years later. The Pentacrest is hopping today, will be at 5 PM tonight, & then tomorrow morning. Enjoy it all #Hawkeyes fans...

The #B1G has released its coaches and media pre-season all conference teams. The #Hawkeyes Ava Heiden makes both lists...

Sayonara Flubs. This game was over when Boyd was named the starter. Thanks Craig - you're overpaid and overrated. Odds are we'll all be put out of our misery tomorrow night when the Padres humiliate the #Cubs again. Then we will likely wait until 2028 after the lockout.

This is a great photo that shows how early Hank Brown threw the ball to Vander Zee.

#Bears A win for the old farts! Amazing!

Also, #Hawkeyes Braeden Jackson has been named #B1G Freshman of the Week for his KOR TD at Michigan - a huge play that kind of got overshadowed a bit by the final drive leading to the game-winning TD pass as time expired.

Hawkeyes Mic @hawkeyesmic.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

2-Deeps are here for the #Hawkeyes game vs. Ohio State - looks pretty familiar coming off the huge last-second win at Michigan. #B1G matchup getting major attention (CBS 2:30 PM National Game; ESPN Game Day in Iowa City). [FWIW: My guess for Game Day Guest Picker is Seth Rollins - ESPN-WWE ties.]

111

Sounds about right. That's a lot of math for me, though (subtracting the stats through 3Qs from the final stats). Pretty impressive though for a new starter playing in the Big House - especially that last 91 YD TD drive!

An amazing final (winning) drive for the #Hawkeyes...

061

FINAL: FADE TO BLACK...& GOLD Iowa 20 - Michigan 19 #Hawkeyes with the win as time expired - Offensive stats aren't the best but it's the scoreboard that counts the most. Both defenses played great, UI's maybe a tad better. Celebrate now - then it's Ohio State next Saturday at Kinnick. Stats...

1111

Welp. After all this, the #Hawkeyes claw their way into the lead 14-13. Kind of amazing all things considered...

3Q End: Michigan 13 - Iowa 7 The #Hawkeyes Offense is Bupkus (Yiddish for goat turds - which accurately describes what we're watching most of this afternoon). The "good news": if you look at the stats you'd think UM was up 20 or more. Surprised Hawks D is still on its collective feet. The Stats...

020

But for the D's stop on their own 18...

020

2Q End: Michigan 10 - Iowa 7 The #Hawkeyes Offense is a big nothing-burger so far today - not putting any stress on UM's D. Iowa Special Teams TD = the only points. UI's D with the huge stop on 4-1-V18 forcing over-on-downs - otherwise the deficit would likely be bigger. Halftime Stats...

140

So far. Look at the TOP and Total YDs - all Michigan.

1Q End: Iowa 7 - Michigan 7 Pretty quiet 1st - until the last 2 mins. when all hell broke loose. #Hawkeyes respond to UM's 18 YD TD pass with Jackson's 99 YD KOR (a thing of beauty and speed). The Stats...
