US EditionMark Gronowski Helps Iowa Extend Winning Streak with 41-3 Victory over Minnesota
Iowa extended its pick-six streak to 18 seasons and scored a punt return touchdown in a 41-3 victory over Minnesota, exploiting turnovers and dominating both sides of the ball.
- On Oct. 25, the Iowa Hawkeyes football team defeated the Minnesota Gophers football team 41-3 at Kinnick Stadium, Iowa City before a Blackout crowd of 69,250.
- Fueled by the 2023 review that erased Cooper DeJean's 54-yard return, the rivalry dating to 1891 and Iowa fans' rallying reaction amplified the revenge narrative.
- Defensive scoring came early as Zach Lutmer's 34-yard interception return set the tone, while Mark Gronowski ran for a touchdown and threw for another, and Kaden Wetjen returned a 50-yard punt for a touchdown.
- The win made Iowa bowl eligible and extended their winning run; the Iowa Hawkeyes will likely appear in the College Football Playoff initial rankings on Nov. 4 and host the Oregon game on November 8.
- Defensively, Iowa dominated by holding the Minnesota Gophers to 133 total yards and extending its pick-six streak to 18 seasons with 56 pick-six scores in school history.
