MADISON, Wis.—While half of the Wisconsin student section was absent by kickoff, Iowa’s run game was anything but. The Hawkeyes’s tailbacks started off when true freshman Brandon Wegher proved to be hard to stop, returning the kick to Wisconsin’s 42 yard line. Redshirt Freshman Adam Robinson quickly got into the offensive mix getting a few touches that resulted in getting a third down for the Hawkeyes in their trip down field.
Fullback Brett Morse relieved Iowa quarterback Ricky Stanzi when he was being hurried by the Badger defensive line, but the play still equated a loss of four yards for the Hawkeyes. Iowa’s offensive line could not hold off the push of the Wisconsin defense as Stanzi was sacked by Badger linebacker Chris Borland shortly after
Wisconsin running back John Clay was leading the Badger offensive charge with 10 carries despite being eyed by Iowa’s Adrian Clayborn and Pat Angerer.
