Minnesota is on the board with a FG. Minnesota 3, Iowa 34

Review for targeting is overturned, so that's gone, but the refs are still calling unnecessary roughness on Entringer. Still a 15-yard penalty and a fresh set of downs. https://t.co/puUVn54akw

End of Q1: Iowa leads 17-0

Well, that was a fun quarter for the Hawkeyes. Iowa's got 128 yards to Minnesota's 12 through the first 15 minutes.

About as good of an opening frame Iowa can get.

Minnesota's punt is bad...just 13-yard and caught by a fan in the stands.

Golden Gophers are struggling to have at least one element of this game go their way in this quarter.

Iowa offense back out on Minnesota's 45-yard line.

That's twice now that Gronowski's tried for the passing touchdown to the back of the end zone and it falls incomplete.
