There have been plenty of big moments for No. 20 Iowa this season.

The Hawkeyes were ranked No. 2 in the nation at one point before suffering a 24-7 home loss to Purdue and then a 27-7 road loss to Wisconsin. If you ask head coach Kirk Ferentz one of the biggest moments of the season, it is Saturday’s 27-22 home win versus Minnesota to continue possession of the Floyd of Rosedale Trophy.

Iowa’s defense came in clutch in the last couple minutes of the game to keep Minnesota out of the end zone in their last two possessions. Iowa outscored Minnesota 10-6 in the fourth quarter.

Iowa has now won seven of the last matchups versus their rivals in Minnesota. They have also won 11 of the last 15 matchups versus Minnesota.
