Click here to view an exclusive photo slideshow. By Jordan Garretson jordan-garretson@uiowa.edu Some were skeptical when Kirk Ferentz said Iowa would do whatever it had to do to win.

Saturday Exam Grades: Iowa vs. ULM
The Hawkeyes passed all of these keys with flying colors. Typically, a 45-17 win will do that, but Iowa came out firing and the defense was pretty dependable throughout the game as well. Kirk Ferentz should be content with his squad heading into the bye week. Iowa (3-1) travels to Penn State in two weeks [...]
