HIGH SCORING FOURTH QUARTER
Iowas 24 points in the fourth quarter of the 41-31 win over Northwestern matched
the highest scoring quarter of the season. Iowa scored 24 points in the second
quarter in the 34-7 season-opening win over Tennessee Tech. Iowa has not scored
more than 24 points in any quarter since the 2009 season, when it scored 28 points
in the nal quarter of a 42-24 win over Indiana. Iowa, twice, scored 21 points in
a quarter during the 2010 season and added 21 points in the second quarter of the
most recent win over Indiana.
IOWA EFFICIENT IN FOURTH
Iowas offense was efcient in the fourth quarter of a 41-31 win over Northwestern
on Oct. 15. The Hawkeyes scored points on four straight drives after the score was
tied at 17 and ended the game at the Wildcat 15-yard line. Iowa drove 64 yards
in 11 plays to take a 24-17 lead and later moved 71 yards in just three plays for a
14-point advantage. The Hawkeyes added a eld goal after a Northwestern fumble
and added their nal points on a 24-yard drive after recovering an on-side kick.
EFFICIENCY CONTINUED . . .
Iowa scored touchdowns on all ve rst half possessions in the win over Indiana
and added a eld goal on its rst drive of the third quarter. Dating back to the
Northwestern game the previous week, Iowa scored on 10 of 11 possessions in
the two games, with the only non-scoring drive coming at the conclusion of the
Northwestern game when Iowa reached the Wildcat 15-yard line as time expired
in the 41-31 win.
Against Indiana, Iowas opening drive took over seven minutes and covered 69
yards. The Hawkeyes ended the second period with a 53-yard drive that took just
four plays and 44 seconds.
IOWA COMEBACKS
Iowas rally for a 31-27 win over Pittsburgh (Sept. 17) is believed to be the largest
comeback for a win in Hawkeye history, as the Hawkeyes trailed by 21 points (24-
3) with 3:11 remaining in the third quarter. Following is a list of previous Iowa
rallies that are believed to be the largest in school history:
Iowa rallied from an 18-point decit in a 34-31 win over Oregon in 1949 in
Iowa City. Iowa trailed 24-6 with 2:30 left in the third quarter against the Ducks.
Iowa rallied from a 17-0 rst half decit for a 30-27 win at Minnesota in 1986,
winning on a 37-yard eld goal with one second remaining.
Iowa rallied from a 17-0 rst half decit for a 37-30 home win over Michigan
State in 1996. Iowa rallied to tie the game at 23 and 30 before scoring the win-
ning touchdown early in the fourth period.
Iowa rallied from a 14-point decit for a 42-24 win over Indiana in 2009 at Kin-
nick Stadium. The Hawkeyes trailed 21-7 in the third period when an 86-yard
interception return sparked Iowas rally.
Iowas rally ties as the second largest this season among FBS teams. Houston
rallied from a 27-point decit to take a win over Louisiana Tech, while Nebraska
rallied from 21 points down to defeat Ohio State.

defeating 13th-ranked Michigan in 2011.
Iowa earned Big Ten Conference championships in 2002
and 2004 and placed second in 2009. Iowa (8-0, 2002) is
one of two Big Ten teams to post a perfect mark in confer-
ence play since 1998 (BCS era).

and CNN/USA Today coaches polls in four of the past 10
seasons, including a ranking of seventh in both polls at

eld goal to cap its rst drive of the third period.
McNutt, Jr. led the Iowa offense with six receptions for 184 yards
and three touchdowns. He had an 80-yard scoring reception on
Iowas second possession to give the Hawkeyes a 14-7 lead. That
play ties as the ninth-longest scoring pass in school history and
gives McNutt, Jr. three of the 10 longest scoring receptions at Iowa
(92, 88 and 80 yards). He added a 24-yard scoring catch on Iowas
next possession as Iowa took a 21-14 advantage and never looked
back. McNutt, Jr. had his third score in the nal minute of the rst
half, with his 29-yard reception giving Iowa a 35-14 advantage at
the break. He now holds the Iowa record for career touchdown
receptions (24).
The Hawkeyes drove 69 yards on their rst possession, ending
a seven-minute drive with a one-yard run by RB Marcus Coker.
Coker added his second score, a two-yard run, to give Iowa a 28-
14 lead with 1:38 remaining in the half. Coker led Iowas ground
game with 23 carries for 139 yards. Coker has rushed for over 100
yards in four of seven games in 2011.
Iowas only scoring of the third period came on a 47-yard eld
goal by Mike Meyer. The Hawkeyes ended their scoring with 3:10
remaining in the game when TE Brad Herman grabbed a one-
yard pass from QB James Vandenberg. Meyer made all six PAT
attempts to remain perfect (28-28) on the season.
Vandenberg had the most efcient day of his career, completing
12-16 passes for 253 yards, with no interceptions. The four scoring
passes are a career high. Iowa gained 456 yards total offense,
with 203 rushing yards to go with Vandenbergs passing total.
Indiana scored touchdowns on its rst two drives of the day, but
from that point was held to just a eld goal until adding a third
touchdowns in the nal minute of play.

GAME RECAP
Minnesota scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter to rally
for a 22-21 win over Iowa in Minneapolis. The Gophers scored
the winning points on a fourth down, three-yard run with 2:48
remaining. Iowas defense held Minnesota out of the end zone on
the two-point conversion attempt, but the Hawkeyes were unable
to move into eld goal position on their last possession.
Iowa dominated much of the game, but the Hawkeyes were able
to convert just three of six red zone possessions into points. The
Hawkeyes missed two eld goals in the rst half before taking a 7-0
advantage on a 12-yard pass from QB James Vandenberg to WR
Marvin McNutt, Jr. Minnesota answered with a touchdown with
1:13 left in the half to tie the score at seven.
Iowa drove 63 yards on its rst possession of the second half,
taking a 14-7 lead on a one-yard run by RB Marcus Coker. After

Gopher 14. But a Vandenberg fumble was recovered by the
Gophers and Minnesota drove to a 28-yard eld goal.
Iowa increased its advantage on its following possession,
covering 71 yards in just seven plays. Vandenberg completed a
12-yard pass to OL Woody Orne (tackle eligible) on third down
before Coker scored his second touchdown from the one, and
Iowa led 21-10 with 13:51 to play.
Minnesota closed the gap to 21-16 with 8:22 remaining, driving 80
yards in 11 plays. The two-point conversion failed, but Minnesota
kept momentum by recovering an onside kick. The Gophers drove
to fourth down at the three, where QB MarQueis Gray scored the
winning points.
Iowas offense dominated much of the rst three quarters.
Despite just seven offensive plays in the nal quarter, Iowa gained
446 yards total offense and had just one punt. Minnesota gained
371 yards total offense, with 155 yards coming in the nal period.

yards and a touchdown, with no interceptions. McNutt, Jr. led
