• Fernando Mendoza went 13-of-23 for 233 yards with two touchdown passes and his first interception of the season, and he was sacked twice.
• Elijah Sarratt caught six passes for 132 yards, Omar Cooper Jr. hauled in a 14-yard touchdown, and Nico Radicic converted field goals from 46 and 44 yards.
• Iowa starter Mark Gronowski exited late with a leg injury, backup Hank Brown finished, and the Hawkeyes dropped their 11th straight against a ranked opponent.
