Last week, the Hawks did some damage on the ground and this week they do somewhat damage through the air. Their QB Marvin McNutt passed for 302 yards and had two passing touchdowns. Receivers Franklin Newby and Pat Rogers were remarkeable as Newby had 145 yards and a touchdown and Rogers had 140 yards and a touchdown. Newby also returned a kickoff up the middle for an 80 yard kick return touchdown.
The Hawkeyes are another rank higher because of the #1 Clemson Tigers team losing. The Hawkeyes are now ranked #3 in the Coaches Poll and #2 in the Media. If the top two teams continue to win, the only hope Iowa has are the BCS Polls and the computer formula for them to jump the #2 team to get into the National Championship game.
