Hawkeye Report Podcast on the Minnesota Win
A late night win for the Iowa football team deserves a late night podcast.
The Iowa Hawkeyes used a 24 point second half to rally past Minnesota and reclaim Floyd of Rosedale on Saturday night. Tom Kakert and Matt Randazzo fired up the podcast machine late on Saturday night to recap the significant win for the Hawkeyes.
We look back another amazing performance by running back Kaleb Johnson. He gave full credit after the game, as he did all season, to his offensive line and what they are doing up front. But, is he also in one of those special zones as a back?
After giving up 14 points in the second quarter and falling behind the Gophers going into the break, how important was Iowa’s first drive of the second half that tied the game? It seemed to certainly inspire the defense as well as they allowed just 66 yards of total offense after the break.
We also look at the overall state of the offense. Cade McNamara said after the game that while they are happy with the win, they know they have plenty to work on in the passing game during the bye week. Also, just how important was this win and this second half? Losing this game and potentially looking at a 2-3 start to the year would not have been a positive for the Hawkeyes.
