2011 Week 8

The Hawkeyes can do it either by ground or air nowadays. You need them to deliver your mail for ya?
QB Marvin McNutt passed for 337 yards and 3 TD. His two favorite receivers, Pat Rogers and Franklin Newby helped his numbers. Newby caught for 188 yards and 2 of the 3 TD through the air and Rogers added 147 yards and the other TD.
One of two Hawkeye Heisman candidates Jevon Pugh rushed for 230 yards and added 4 TD.
The other Heisman candidate on the other side of the ball defensively, Lebron Daniel had 8 Tackles, 8 for loss and four sacks. The BIg Ten defensive player of the week though was OLB John Andrews who had 6 tackles, 2 for loss, a sack, 2 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles.
With the win, the Hawks didn't move in either the coaches or media polls but what mattered most was the NEW BCS Poll that came out and ranked the Iowa Hawkeyes at the #2 spot which means if the season were to end now, they would be playing in the National Championship game aganist Alabama. At #3, #4 and #5 were the three teams that Iowa had beaten which would make sense why Iowa was at #2 in the BCS Polls. USC landed at #3, Penn State at #4 and Texas at #5.
