Fast thoughts about the 20-15 victory of Iu Football against Iowa in Kinnick Stadium for 69,250 fans:
Three important plays in IU’s victory
Ferrell’s intercepting the TouchDown pass from Mendoza sets up to Cooper Jr.
The Hoosiers were able to silence the Iowa -in the beginning of the first quarter with an interception that led to a quick score.
Defensive Rug Amare Ferrell intercepted Mark Gronowski’s pass intended for Dayton Howard less than 45 seconds in the game.
Two plays later Fernando Mendoza Omar Cooper Jr. With a 14-yard touchdown pass to put it on the board first.
Late first half Drive leads to the field goal to bind the game during the break
After the attack yielded lean results for the rest of the first half, the Hoisiers got the most out of their last possession in the second quarter.
After an Iowa drive that ended with a Gronowski-Touchdown-Rush of three meters, the Hoosiers got the ball with just 22 seconds to play for the break.
From the 35-Yard line, Roman Hemby’s 16-Yard Rush got the IU drive to a positive start. During the next game, a Mendoza 16-Yard Pass to Elia Sarratt an extra 15 yards was expanded due to a roughness of the passer-fine.
IU put that in field target range and Nico Radicic converted a 46-Yard field goal to bind the game at 10 during the break.
Mendoza finds Sarratt for a game-winning touchdown
After Drew Stevens had missed a field goal of 42 meters that Iowa would have given a three -point lead with just over two minutes to play, the Hoisiers needed less than 30 seconds to make four plays and 76 yards for a touchdown.
Mendoza found Sarratt on the Iowa 42 with a pass over the middle and Sarratt took the rest of the road for the Go-Ahead score.
It was a moment of redemption for Mendoza, who threw his first interception of the season on IU’s earlier property.
