Minnesota (Floyd of Rosedale)

Minnesota has not won consecutive games at Kinnick Stadium in nearly 45 years (1981). Iowa dominated the first half, scoring in all three phases of the game. This was the most lopsided game in the series since 2008 as the Gophers never had momentum. The victory once again brought the Hawkeyes to bowl eligibility.[19]

Fox Big Noon Kickoff was on hand for this top 20 showdown. These teams had only played each other three times prior and this was their first meeting in over 30 years. Rain was a factor as both teams struggled passing. Iowa took their first lead of the game at 16–15 with 1:51 remaining. But, in their first visit to Iowa City since 1989, Oregon prevailed with a field goal, 18–16.[20][21]

Playing at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum for the first time since 1976, the Hawkeyes took control early before stalling out down the stretch. For the second consecutive week rain was a factor but Iowa drove the ball effectively in the first half, leading 21–10 at intermission. USC outscored Iowa 16–0 in the second half to keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive. Senior Mark Gronowski became the first Hawkeye to have rushing, receiving, and passing touchdowns in the same game in over 30 years. This was the first meeting of the schools since the 2019 Holiday Bowl. Iowa's last win at the Coliseum remains 1961, and The Trojans have an 8–3 advantage in the overall series.[22][23]

Michigan State

With a first quarter 62-yard punt return for a touchdown, Kaden Wetjen broke a Tim Dwight return touchdown record from almost three decades prior. The Hawkeyes offense stalled for most of the first three quarters, but woke up in the fourth. Senior Drew Stevens kicked a 44-yard field goal in his final home game for the nail-biting win. Michigan State has only won at Kinnick Stadium twice in the last 30 years (2011, 2013).[24] Wetjen was named Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week for a third time.[25]

The Hawkeyes have won 10 of the last 11 in this trophy series. The Cornhuskers were also out for revenge as they gave away the last two match-ups on last-minute turnovers. This marked the 15th Heroes Game with Iowa holding an 11–4 advantage as well as earning their seventh consecutive victory in Lincoln. After a back-and-forth first half, the Hawkeyes shut out the Cornhuskers in the second to get the most lopsided win in the series since 2017. Mark Gronowski also broke the Iowa single-season quarterback rushing record (491).[26]
