Iowa begins the week in the driver’s seat in the Big 10 west. The Hawkeyes held Wisconsin out of the endzone to claim a 15-6 win in a slugfest in Madison.
The Hawkeyes rushed for 200 yards but passed for only 37 and Tory Taylor averaged more than 50 yards per punt.
That’s Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz. The Hawks are without their starting quarterback and top three tight ends but held on to improve to 6-1 on the season.
Taylor amassed more than 500 yards of punting and aided Iowa’s defense by pinning the Badgers deep.
Tight end Erick All suffered a knee injury and Ferentz says should learn more on Monday.
The Hawkeyes host Minnesota this week.
