The No. 17 Iowa football team rallied from a 10-0 deficit to defeat Illinois, 33-23, on Senior Day at Kinnick Stadium on Saturday.
A kickoff return touchdown by Charlie Jones and a pick six by Jack Campbell made up for Iowa’s offensive struggles, as did four field goals by kicker Caleb Shudak. Iowa is now 9-2 this season. With a win against Nebraska next week, plus a Wisconsin loss, Iowa would win the Big Ten West.
Below are some Twitter reactions to Iowa’s win.

The @HawkeyeFootball defense has 21 interceptions on the season.
This is the second most by an Iowa defense since 1998. 👏

#Iowa‘s two losses put a damper on what this season could have been, but this Hawkeye defense and its takeaway numbers will go down as one of the most memorable in team history.

A Big Ten win in November — never easy.
A lot of positives with both the offensive line and the run game. The offense probably would’ve/could’ve scored more than it did, if not for the drops. MUST clean those up.
Defense was stingy, per usual.

Again this is not on Padilla. It’s awful, predictable playcalling and a case of drops on the receivers. If they could catch today, iowa is up by 2 scores

These freshman WRs for the #Hawkeyes continue to impress. And they’re only going to get better.

Kirk Ferentz buries his money in the yard. Banks and investments are too risky.

I’d say I was in a pretty good spot for that Jack Campbell pick six. #Hawkeyes pic.twitter.com/NJdjdsTi1P
