  10/09/26 - Kamari Moulton, rJr/2028, Iowa, 5-09, 211 (DS#37 RB) + More +

  Kamari Moulton ran for a career-high 208 yards on 26 carries and the Iowa defense held Washington to minus-3 yards rushing as the 20th-ranked Hawkeyes rolled to a 41-24 victory Friday night. Jeremy Hecklinski, starting in place of injured Hawkeyes quarterback Hank Brown, threw for 202 yards and three touchdowns on 14-of-19 passing. Moulton averaged 8 yards per carry and scored twice against a struggling Huskies defense. Iowa (5-1, 2-1 Big Ten) bolted to a 13-0 lead in the first quarter as Caden Buhr nailed field goals of 51 and 27 yards, and Moulton scored on a 56-yard touchdown run. Hecklinski connected with tight end DJ Vonnahme twice in the second quarter for touchdown passes of 20 and 27 yards to make it 27-0. Meanwhile, the Hawkeyes defense dominated UW early on, forcing punts on each of Washington's first five drives while holding the Huskies (3-3, 0-3) to 95 yards of total offense in the first half.

UW totaled 14 yards on 18 plays during its first five drives before finally scoring on a 30-yard field goal from Tyler Robles with 1:56 left in the first half. Huskies quarterback Demond Williams Jr. left after taking a hit on that second-quarter drive and went to the locker room for X-rays. He did not return, and Washington coach Jedd Fisch did not have an update after the game. Elijah Brown entered late in the first half and gave the offense a spark, leading an eight-play, 75-yard drive to open the third quarter that ended with a 10-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Chris Lawson. The Hawkeyes and Huskies each scored another touchdown in the third to make it 34-18 before Moulton scored his second TD on a 3-yard run with 12:06 left in the game. Moulton's performance came one week after he was held to 27 yards on 11 carries against Ohio State. - AP College Football

  With two seconds remaining in the game and facing fourth down on the Michigan 16-yard line, Iowa quarterback Hank Brown hit Reece Vander Zee in the front corner of the endzone to give Iowa a 20-19 win over Michigan at the Big House. The win moved Iowa up to No. 14 in this week's US LBM Coaches Poll, while the Wolverines dropped to No. 24. The Hawkeyes are 4-0 to start the season for the first time since 2021. Texas held on for a 20-17 victory over then-No. 13 Tennessee in Knoxville and still sits No. 1 with 45 first-place votes. The Volunteers fell to No. 17. Georgia and Notre Dame remain 2 and 3, but Miami (Fla.) and Indiana flipped spots with the Hurricanes at No. 4 and the Hoosiers at No. 5. Florida's dominant win over then-No. 6 Ole Miss, 52-28, caused the Gators to jump 14 spots to No. 8 while the Rebels fell to No. 12. - American Football Coaches Association

  11/28/25 - Mark Gronowski, rSr/2026, Iowa, 6-2, 226 (DS#11 QB) + More +

  Mark Gronowski rushed for two touchdowns and passed for a third, Kamari Moulton ran for 93 yards and two scores, and Iowa spoiled Nebraska running back Emmett Johnson's career game with a 40-16 victory Friday. The Hawkeyes (8-4, 6-3 Big Ten) broke open what was a one-point game late in the second quarter with three touchdowns and a safety and they shut out the Cornhuskers in the second half. They took home the Heroes Trophy after their 10th win in 11 meetings with their border rival. Johnson had 177 of his career-high 217 yards for Nebraska (7-5, 4-5) in the first half, and he matched his career high with 29 carries. It was Johnson's eighth 100-yard game of the season and fifth straight. He broke a career-long 70-yard run on the Huskers' first possession. Johnson, who averaged 9.3 yards per carry in the first half, was limited to 40 yards on 10 carries in the second.

The temperature was 26 degrees at kickoff, and intermittent light snow fell in the first half. Iowa started taking control when Gronowski scored from the 1 in the final minute of the half. The Hawkeyes recorded a safety early in the third quarter when Jacory Barney muffed a punt and the Huskers' Jamir Conn recovered it in the end zone. TD runs of 6 yards by Gronowski and 1 yard by Moulton made it a 34-point game and sent many of the fans home early in the fourth quarter. Gronowski was 9 of 16 for 166 yards and he carried 13 times for 64. Nebraska freshman TJ Lateef, making his third start in place of the injured Dylan Raiola and first at Memorial Stadium, played most of the game with a tight hamstring and was just 9 of 24 for 69 yards. - Iowa/AP College Football

  2025 SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE FRESHMAN OF THE YEAR (COACHES): Tony Diaz, UTRGV,...Freshman Tony Diaz became one of the top young receivers in the nation, recording 875 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns. Both marks ranked among the top FCS freshmen nationally, and his 11 receiving scores placed him fourth in the entire country.

He quickly emerged as the top target in one of the most prolific passing attacks in the country and delivered one of the most productive freshman seasons in the Southland. - Southland Football

  11/22/25 - Drew Stevens, Sr/2026, Iowa, 6-1, 213 (DS#1 K) + More +

  Drew Stevens kicked a 44-yard field goal as time expired to give Iowa a 20-17 win over Michigan State on Saturday. The kick capped a 13-point fourth-quarter comeback for the Hawkeyes (7-4, 5-3 Big Ten), who snapped a two-game losing streak. The win brought some emotions from Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz after the game. Stevens, a senior playing his final home game, said after the game he had been thinking about his senior day in high school. Stevens had missed a 53-yard field goal at the end of the first half, but Ferentz knew what he had in his kicker at the end of the game.

Iowa trailed 17-7 after Michigan State quarterback Alessio Milivojevic threw two third-quarter touchdown passes to Chrishon McCray. But the Hawkeyes held the Spartans (3-8, 0-8) to just 26 yards on four possessions in the fourth quarter, sending Michigan State to its eighth consecutive loss and extending the Spartans' Big Ten losing streak to nine games. The Hawkeyes got to within 17-10 on Stevens' 26-yard field goal with 11:27 left in the fourth quarter, then tied the game when Gronowski threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Jacob Gill with 1:29 to play. That drive was set up by a 40-yard punt return by Kaden Wetjen, who had returned a punt 62 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter for Iowa's first score and becoming the program's all-time leader in returns for touchdowns. Iowa got the ball back on its own 21-yard line and drove 53 yards in five plays, setting up Stevens for his game winner. - AP College Football

  11/08/25 - L.J. Phillips Jr., rJr/2028, Iowa, 5-08, 211 (DS#29 RB) + More +

  L.J. Phillips Jr. had a long touchdown run to cap the scoring early in the third quarter and South Dakota held South Dakota State scoreless in the second half to finish off a 24-17 upset victory between ranked FCS teams on Saturday. Phillips piled up 168 yards on 27 carries for South Dakota (7-4, 5-2 Missouri Valley Football Conference), ranked No. 25 in the latest FCS coaches poll while the Jackrabbits entered at No. 9. Phillips had the only score in the second half on a 32-yard run 3:36 into the third quarter.

South Dakota State (7-3, 3-3) jumped on top on the first play from scrimmage - a 75-yard touchdown run by Jack Smith for a 7-0 lead. Phillips tied it on a 10-yard touchdown run before Eli Stader kicked a 40-yard field goal to put South Dakota State up 10-7 after one quarter. Will Leyland tied it on a 34-yard field goal with 4:14 left in the second quarter and Aidan Bouman passed 19 yards to Larenzo Fenner for a touchdown and the Coyotes led 17-10 lead with 63 seconds left. That was enough time for Jack Henry to throw a 27-yard touchdown pass to Alex Bullock seven plays later to knot the score at halftime. Bouman completed 14 of 21 passes for 158 yards for South Dakota. Henry totaled 139 yards on 13-for-24 passing with an interception for South Dakota State. Smith led the Jackrabbits with 82 yards on three carries. - AP College Football

  L.J. Phillips Jr. rushed for 106 yards and added a touchdown, and Dejuan Lewis returned a fumble for a touchdown to lead South Dakota to a 26-21 victory over North Dakota on Saturday. South Dakota (6-4, 4-2 Missouri Valley Football Conference) forced a safety to open the scoring and Phillips added a rushing touchdown early in the second quarter. The Coyotes then turned two Fighting Hawks turnovers into touchdowns.

Jerry Kaminski threw two interceptions in the first half. His second set up a 43-yard touchdown pass from Aidan Bouman to Larenzo Fenner with 45 seconds left for a 16-7 halftime lead. The Coyotes added a field goal, then turned a Sawyer Seidl fumble into a touchdown. Chris Dixon forced the fumble at South Dakota's 21-yard line, then Lewis scooped it and returned it 80 yards to make it 17 unanswered points. Kaminski was 16-of-30 passing for 177 yards with a rushing score. Seidl rushed for 102 yards and two touchdowns, making it his fourth consecutive game with more than 100 yards rushing. It's the first MVFC loss of the season for the FCS coaches poll No. 10 Fighting Hawks (6-3, 4-1), after early season losses to Kansas State and Montana. - AP College Football

  10/25/25 - Mark Gronowski, rSr/2026, Iowa, 6-2, 226 (DS#11 QB) + More +

  Mark Gronowski ran for a touchdown and threw for another as Iowa defeated Minnesota 41-3 on Saturday. It was the third consecutive win for the Hawkeyes (6-2, 4-1 Big Ten), who became bowl eligible. Iowa had rushing, passing, defensive and special teams touchdowns in the first half, building a 31-0 halftime lead. "We really wanted to get after them," Gronowski said. "That's just great complementary football." Said Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz: "All three phases really did a great job, especially in that first half, playing off each other and doing a great job," Gronowski had a 2-yard touchdown run on the opening possession of the game; his 11th of the season. Drew Stevens had a 34-yard field goal to increase Iowa's lead to 10-0, then Zach Lutmer returned an interception 34 yards for a touchdown to give the Hawkeyes a 17-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.

Gronowski, who threw for 135 yards, threw a 29-yard touchdown pass to Reece Vander Zee early in the second quarter, then Kaden Wetjen scored on a 50-yard punt return two minutes later. "We were getting the ball to our playmakers," Gronowski said. "I really liked the rhythm we had in the first half." "Defense, offense, special teams - everybody was moving today," Wetjen said. It was the first time since the 2019 Holiday Bowl - a 49-24 win over USC - that Iowa had touchdowns in all three phases of the game. "The same outcome is pretty good," a smiling Ferentz said. Stevens' 46-yard field goal in the third quarter gave Iowa a 34-0 lead. Iowa backup quarterback Jeremy Hecklinski had a 6-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to close the scoring. Minnesota (5-3, 3-2), which came in having won three of its last four games, had just 133 yards against the Hawkeyes, who rank eighth nationally in total defense. The Gophers' only points came on a 34-yard field goal from Brady Denaburg in the third quarter. Minnesota redshirt freshman quarterback Drake Lindsey threw three interceptions. Those turnovers, along with the punt return by Wetjen, bothered Gophers coach PJ Fleck. - Iowa/AP College Football
