Minnesota Gophers Vs. Iowa Hawkeyes Football

Minnesota (4-1) was off to its best start since 2008..... 

But we just couldn't get anything going on offense Saturday. Minnesota Golden Gophers Football played against the Iowa Hawkeyes for Iowa's homecoming. 

Max Shortell threw three interceptions and the Gophers managed only 75 yards in the first half. The Hawkeyes scored three touchdowns during a six-minute span of the second quarter to jump out to a 24-0 halftime lead.

Then the Gophers went three-and-out, and Iowa's normally conventional offense pulled a surprise with a flea-flicker on the first play of the drive. Weisman pitched the ball back to James Vandenberg, and the senior quarterback found a wide-open Jordan Cotton for a 47-yard score.

Minnesota won the previous two meetings with Iowa, rallying from behind in both games to win the rivalry trophy. The Gophers couldn't muster a comeback this time.
