Iowa played keepaway in the 1st quarter as their first drive ate up 3:30 of the clock but we forced them into a FG. We brought a safety into the box the rest of the day to shut down their run and short passing game and it paid off big. We had 4 interceptions in the first half alone. We also had big passing play after big passing play as they could not keep up with the speed of our receivers. At the end of the first half, Spencer was 16 of 18 for 350 yards with 6 TD's and also had 100 rushing yards in the first half. Tye White had 6 catches for 254 yards and 2 TD's in the 1st half including 174 YAC as he used his quickness to burn them. We took a 49-3 lead into halftime.

In the 2nd half, we tried to slow down the pace a bit to protect our tired defense. But, our offense kept having big plays and we cruised to a 91-10 win. Tye White finished with 15 catches for 397 yards and 3 TD's including 229 YAC. Spencer finished with 613 yards passing with 9 TD's and 1 INT. He was 37 of 44. He also ran it 18 times for 171 yards and 4 more TD's. Our defense finished with 5 interceptions on the day, although a glitch in the game caused Burk to lose his. He intercepted it and fumbled on the return. The fumble was reversed on the replay but he lost credit for the interception. The most exciting interception was by backup RS FR FS Thomas Keller who made an incredible leap to catch his. He looks like he will be a great starter for us down the road.
