Their red zone efficiency stood out as well with three visits resulting in scores every time – demonstrating clinical finishing when it mattered most.
The fourth quarter saw some resurgence from the home team as they put up ten points against an otherwise solid away defense but it wasn't enough to overturn what had been built by then by Iowa's team.
