It wasn’t the prettiest win, but it was a win. In what was probably the most frustrating blowout you’ll see, the Iowa Hawkeyes took down Western Michigan, 41-10.
Despite the lopsided result, Iowa really did have to battle in this game. Early on, the Broncos tested them and actually led twice. Iowa was only up 14-10 at halftime.
Thanks to a great rushing performance, LeVar Woods being the best special teams coordinator in the nation, and the Ferentzes making good adjustments, Iowa was able to secure their first blowout victory of the season.
Let’s take a look at each unit. Here is a report card for the Hawkeyes in their Week 3 win that pushed them to 3-0 on the young season.
