MINNEAPOLIS — Following two close losses to begin its 2020 season, the Iowa football team is 2-2. Both Hawkeye victories over the past two weeks were blowouts, the latest one coming against the Gophers.
Iowa defeated Minnesota, 35-7, to secure the Floyd of Rosedale for the sixth season in a row.
A dominant ground game and a defense that held a shutout for over 59 minutes led the way for the Hawkeyes. Here’s how fans, reporters, players, and coaches reacted to the game on social media.

Tbh, I wish Kirk had six timeouts to burn there late. Cry about it. #Hawkeyes

Nothing better than celebrating a big win with #49 and keeping Floyd in Iowa City where he belongs!

If you told me a decade ago that Kirk Ferentz would 1) still be at Iowa in 2020, 2) call 3 timeouts in the last minute of a 35-0 game to retaliate for another coach calling ONE, and then 3) dunk that hard in the postgame, I’d probably shoot you because time travel is witchcraft
