Minnesota 0, Iowa 12
| It was over when... Iowa's defense stopped Minnesota on four straight plays from the 2-yard line early in the fourth quarter. Gameball goes to... Floyd of Rosedale. The bronze pig that goes to the winner of the game deserves something for having to watch this one. Stat of the game... 17 vs. 12. The teams combined for more punts (17) than points in Iowa City. They were also 5-for-38 on third down. | ||
