Michigan went to Iowa City to take on the 3-1 Iowa Hawkeyes on Saturday and going into the game, the Wolverines had lost four-straight games at Kinnick Stadium.
Kinnick has been bad for top-5 teams. Since 2008 the past five out of six teams that played Iowa in Kinnick have lost.
But both of those streaks ended on Saturday after Michigan defeated Iowa, 27-14.
Michigan entered halftime up 13-0 on Iowa. The Wolverines even left a few points on the board like when J.J. McCarthy missed Roman Wilson by a hair for a touchdown on a deep shot, but the Wolverines rushed for 131 yards on the ground against Iowa in the first half. And Michigan held the Iowa offense to 91 yards of total offense.
Michigan came out in the second half looking dominant once again. The Wolverines took a quick 20-0 lead, but Kinnick started to come alive in the second half. The Michigan defense looked to soften a little and Iowa took full advantage. The Hawkeyes scored a touchdown right into the fourth quarter to make it a 20-7 deficit. The Hawkeyes forced a three-and-out the next drive and Iowa took the ball deep into Michigan territory before turning the ball over on downs.
Blake Corum ran in for a late touchdown to seal the deal for Michigan.
Here are our five takeaways from the Michigan win.
