Iowa's A.J. Epenesa after taking down Minnesota: 'It was a night to remember'
Iowa beat previously unbeaten Minnesota Saturday afternoon.
The Hawkeyes were considered the favorite by Vegas, but the College Football Playoff committee (and every other human being) thought the Golden Gophers were the better team. Minnesota entered with a No. 8 ranking and Iowa was No. 20.

The Hawkeyes went on to win 23-19, and it was a night to remember in Kinnick Stadium. At least, that’s what stud Hawkeye defensive end A.J. Epenesa said:
"It doesn't get any better than this. It was a night to remember."

After the win, Hawkeye coach Kirk Ferentz spoke about how his team handled the week leading up to the B1G showdown:
"I'm an older guy right now. I've coached in a lot of games, so I've had my ass kicked plenty, but you feel bad for your players."
Gotta love Kirk Ferentz and his perspective on wins and losses in this @HawkeyeHQ web extra. #Hawkeyes pic.twitter.com/y3XelgybSC
