Mark Gronowski's night is done. He finishes 16/24 (at least 3/4 drops) for 179 and two scores. Also had an impressive 13-yard touchdown on the ground.

Obviously it was a very overmatched opponent, but good to see some things out of him.

UMass cornerback TJ Magee is being tended to by medical staff.

Great punt by UMass...then Wetjen runs it back 95 yards for a touchdown. Huge play to start the second half for the Hawkeyes.

However there is an injured UMass player and both athletic training staffs are helping the athlete.

Gronowski says thank you to the o-line for the gap and runs up the middle, breaks three tackles and spins into the end zone for a 13-yard rushing TD.

PAT is good. Smart play by the Hawkeye signal caller.

30-7 with 26 seconds in the half to play.

Touchdown Iowa. UMass 7, Iowa 30 :26 left in the half.

Turnover on downs, Iowa takes over at the UMass 49-yard line with 1:28 to go in the half.

The Hawkeyes haven't found the end zone in this quarter.

— Madison Hricik (@SportingMads) September 14, 2025

And he's back out on the field for the UMass drive. https://t.co/dFKdfWKhgn

— Madison Hricik (@SportingMads) September 14, 2025

UMass has 7 points and minus-1 yard, and that's just wack.

— Mike Hlas (@Hlas) September 14, 2025

+3 on 54 yards from Drew Stevens 🙌 @HawkeyeFootball

UMass sacks Gronowski, then a crucial drop on third down sets up another field goal.

This time, Stevens misses the 38-yard kick.

Still 23-7 Iowa with 5:56 to go in the half.

Zach Lutmer ran into the med tent trying to make a tackle along the sideline and it took him a while to get up.

He went straight into the med tent once he stood up.

— Madison Hricik (@SportingMads) September 14, 2025

Alright I'll say this much. As much as it's a relief for fans to see the pass game exist in real time...there are still a few big-time drops happening. Can't have those, especially after this week.

Touchdown UMass. First rush TD given up by Hawkeyes this year. Iowa 20, UMass 7

Well...alright then.

UMass blocks the punt and gets the ball at Iowa's 21-yard line. Just a complete breakdown of the special teams unit there and now UMass has its first legit offensive opportunity.

— Madison Hricik (@SportingMads) September 14, 2025

End of Q1: 20-0 Iowa.

Gronowski is 8-10 with 120 passing yards.

Iowa has called 10 passing plays, 6 runs and Gronowski's carried twice.

Most points Iowa's scored in first quarter since 2016.

Do with that information what you will.

Wetjen runs it in 22 yards for the third touchdown of the night. PAT is good this time, but a little bit of a wonky snap there.

Iowa's in full-on cruise control mode. It's 20-0 with 2:08 left in the quarter.

— Madison Hricik (@SportingMads) September 14, 2025

Seth Anderson with his second touchdown of the game and we're not even eight minutes in.

He grabs a 3-yard pass from Gronowski. Stevens missed the PAT, though.

13-0 Hawkeyes with 7:41 to go in the quarter.

I don’t care if it’s against Umass. Gronowski redemption tour starts now!

Iowa threatening to score in 2nd drive. 

Iowa forces a three and out, UMass punts it for Kaden Wetjen to return.

And he brings the Hawkeyes right to the UMass 39-yard line for a 39-yard return.

— Madison Hricik (@SportingMads) September 13, 2025

The Hawkeyes are starting off HOT!

Gronowski finds Anderson for @HawkeyeFootball's first TD of the night.

And we're 91 seconds in and the Hawkeyes are on the board.

Two great passes by Gronowski gets Seth Anderson into the end zone with a 20-yard TD pass. PAT is good. Iowa leads 7-0 with 13:29 in the quarter.

That probably was wonderful to see, huh?

— Madison Hricik (@SportingMads) September 13, 2025

Iowa starts off quickly with a TD in the first drive. Iowa 7, UMass 0.

Washington returns the kickoff for 22 yards and the Hawkeyes start up on their 32-yard line.

— Madison Hricik (@SportingMads) September 13, 2025

Iowa elects to take the kick-off.

Kirk Ferentz looks to pass Woody Hayes as the all-time wins leader in the Big 10 with a victory over UMass.
