The No. 20 Iowa football team improved to 8-2 on the season and 5-2 in Big Ten play with a 27-22 win over Minnesota at Kinnick Stadium on Saturday.

Iowa ensured that the Floyd of Rosedale Trophy will stay in Iowa City for another year. The Hawkeyes have defeated the Gophers in seven consecutive meetings. Minnesota has not defeated Iowa at Kinnick Stadium since 1999. Iowa quarterback Alex Padilla accounted for three touchdowns in his first game as a starter for the Hawkeyes. Defensive end Joe Evans sacked Minnesota quarterback Tanner Morgan near midfield in the final seconds to end the game.

Below are some Twitter reactions from the game.

Is it illegal to have a good offense and defense at the same time? Asking for a friend…

I used to not understand why Minnesota would chant “who hates Iowa? We hate iowa” at literally every single one of their sporting events, but you know I would probably hate Iowa too if I lost to them seven years in a row

The tradition at the Iowa football games where the whole crowd waves to kids watching from the children’s hospital right next to the stadium and the kids wave back is so cool

Iowa: let’s do everything we can to avoid making a tough decision on offense

Also Iowa: let’s make it as difficult on our defense as humanly possible

Keagan Johnson needs a mandatory 12 touches per game.

Kirk Ferentz hasn’t lost to Minnesota at home since his first year as the head coach at Iowa.

He’s been there 22+ years now.

Kirk Ferentz LOVES him some bacon 🥓 🐖

Home from Kinnick. Some thoughts from my couch:

1. Alex Padilla is a baller. He needs to be the starting QB for the rest of the year and going into the Spring. Facts.

2. Keagan Johnson might mess around and be the best wide receiver Iowa has ever had.

3. PJ Fleck is a dork.

You’re trying to tell me Iowa had Alex Padilla on the bench all season???

— Dylan Sgamba (@thesgambino) November 13, 2021

Why wasn’t Alex Padilla starting sooner?
