Hawks Down Boilers 22-17


The Iowa Hawkeyes held off the Purdue Boilermakers on a raw, cold Saturday afternoon, 22-17. Iowa finished their home schedule with a win before heading north to Minneapolis and the Minnesota Golden Gophers for a 6 pm broadcast.

Shonn Greene led the Hawkeyes by rushing for over 200 yards. However former starting Boiler quarterback, Curt Painter came off the bench to rally Purdue and have a chance for victory on the last play of regulation. On that play, the football dropped outside the End Zone amid a myriad of Boiler and Hawkeye football players.
