The game saw the Iowa Hawkeyes showcase a balanced offensive and defensive performance. The home team's rushing attack was particularly effective, amassing 254 yards on the ground with an average of nearly six yards per carry.

Defensively, Iowa recorded two sacks and forced two fumbles—one of which they recovered—further stifling any momentum from the Broncos' offense. Additionally, they scored off a safety which contributed to their overall scoreline.


On special teams for Western Michigan Broncos, there were no blocked punts or punts returned for touchdowns that could have shifted momentum in their favor. However, it is worth noting that neither team used any timeouts or challenges throughout the contest.
