TWTW: Iowa Causes Wolverine Blackout 30-21

((HT: Des Moines Register/Logue))

The Iowa Hawkeyes’ have their first 6-0 start since 1985 — not to mention their first victory against the Wolverines since 2003.

“We still have a lot of things we can work on,” quarterback Ricky Stanzi said. “And that’s an exciting thing.”

Tony Moeaki, who missed the previous three weeks, started the party with a 34-yard catch and run in the first quarter, then added a 42-yard score with 12:56 left in the fourth period, putting Iowa ahead 30-21.

“It’s tough to sit out,” said Moeaki, who finished with six receptions for 105 yards. “I’ll definitely savor this game.”

Moeaki thwarted a Michigan defense intent on stifling the Hawkeyes’ rushing attack, and enabled Stanzi to shrug off another streaky performance.

“Good to see Tony back, for a lot of reasons,” coach Kirk Ferentz said. “He really is a guy everybody looks up to because of his toughness.”
