Iowa







Nate Stanley torched the Indiana secondary through the air, passing for 320 yards and tying an Iowa record for the second-most touchdown passes in a single game in school history with six. Stanley connected with nine different wide receivers in a game where he was only sacked one time.

The Hawkeyes' 479 yards of total offense marked the fourth straight game they have surpassed 400 yards. Final score Iowa 42-Hoosiers 16. 

The Hoosiers managed to make it interesting for a brief period during the second quarter. Indiana was trailing 14-3 when Stanley made his only mistake of the day, an errant pass right in the direction of Hoosiers defender Thomas Allen, who set Indiana up in Iowa territory following his interception. On the next play, Indiana quarterback Peyton Ramsey found Ty Fryfogle in the end zone for a 33-yard touchdown that made it a 14-10. Ramsey finished with one touchdown and two interceptions, completing 31 of 42 pass attempts for 263 yards.

For the game the team would honor legendary great George Taliaferro, with the #44 on their helmet. Talaiferro, the star running back for Indiana who in 1949 became the first black player drafted by an NFL team.. Taliaferro died at 91 early in the week prior to the game.
