Mekhi Sargent's turn. His 14-yard touchdown run gave the Hawkeyes their fourth rushing TD of the night.

Just when the Gophers looked to have a chance to get on the board, Riley Moss picked off Tanner Morgan and returned it 57 yards to the Minnesota 36 to set up another Iowa touchdown.

After a 28-yard pass from Spencer Petras to Shaun Beyer, Tyler Goodson punched in his second TD of the game from 1 yard out. Goodson then added a 2-point conversion.

Tyler Goodson busted a 45-yard run up the middle on the first play of the drive to set up Iowa's third touchdown of the game.

Spencer Petras has had a rough night, but Ihmir Smith-Marsette was wide open for a 7-yard score here.

There was a bad snap on the extra point.

Ten of Iowa's 12 plays on its second touchdown drive were rushes as the Hawkeyes dominated the line of scrimmage.
