Michigan football ended two streaks on Saturday after it defeated Iowa, 27-14.
This was the first victory for Michigan in Kinnick since 2005 and the Wolverines went to Iowa ranked No. 4. The past five out of six times a top-5 team played in Kinnick, it lost.
The Michigan offense moved the ball efficiently against Iowa and it totaled 327 yards of offense. Michigan ran for 172 yards against the Hawkeyes — Iowa went into the game allowing 73 yards-per-game on average. But the Michigan offensive line did its job and Blake Corum had another great day toting the rock. Corum rushed for 133 yards and one score.
The Wolverines played mostly good on defense against Iowa. Michigan allowed two touchdowns in the fourth quarter — one was during garbage time — but the maize and blue allowed a ton of chunk plays in the second half. The pass rush wasn’t getting home in the first half, and late into the second half, it became noticeably good. Michigan sacked Spencer Petras four times.
As usual, Twitter reacted to the Michigan win during and after the game. Here are some of the best reactions.
