IOWA CITY, Iowa — Though football is not a game of almosts or should haves, Utah State came a lot closer to a win than the scoreboard reflects in its first game against No. 25 Iowa.
On Iowa's second consecutive scoring possession, the Hawkeyes advanced to the 13-yard line on a well choreographed run play. A defensive block below the waist penalty on Anthony Switzer gave the Hawkeyes 6 more yards. Early in the second quarter, the Aggies moved on what looked to be a promising touchdown drive. After a 10-yard pass on first down, quarterback Cooper Legas was sacked for a 10-yard loss, setting up second-and-20. It was too much to recover from for the Aggies and they had to settle for a field goal.
Late in the first half, Iowa started a drive with a false start penalty, resulting in first-and-15. The next play resulted in just a 3-yard gain, but Utah State's Poukesi Vakauata body slammed a pile of players from both teams long after the whistle. The ensuing kickoff to the Aggies featured a late hit from Josh Williams after the touchback, which resulted in a Utah State unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. The Aggies were forced to began their drive from the 12-yard line and quickly went three-and-out.
