BRETT GREENWOOD FOUNDATION ESTABLISHED
Former Iowa DB Brett Greenwood (2007-10) collapsed
during a routine workout in early September. His heart
stopped due to an abnormal heart-rhythm, which resulted in
injuries to his brain. Brett is recovering and working hard to
regain his strength and mobility.
Many have expressed a desire to support Brett in a tangible
way. As a result, the Brett Greenwood Foundation has been
established to accept contributions that will be used to directly
support Brett as he continues to recover.
Individuals who would like to contribute to the Brett
Greenwood Foundation can make a donation at any of the
74 Wells Fargo banking stores in Iowa or the 6,300 locations
across the nation. Donations also can be made online at
www.bregreenwoodfoundaon.com or by mail at attn: Brett
Greenwood Foundation, Wells Fargo, 2001 Spruce Hills Dr.,
Bettendorf, Iowa, 52722.

Iowa at Nebraska - - Memorial Stadium Date of Release: Nov. 21, 2011
EFFICIENCY CONTINUED . . .
Iowa scored touchdowns on all ve rst half possessions in
the win over Indiana and added a eld goal on its rst drive
of the third quarter. Dating back to the Northwestern game
the previous week, Iowa scored on 10 of 11 possessions in
the two games, with the only non-scoring drive coming at the
conclusion of the Northwestern game when Iowa reached the
Wildcat 15-yard line as time expired in the 41-31 win.
Against Indiana, Iowas opening drive took over seven
minutes and covered 69 yards. The Hawkeyes ended the
second period with a 53-yard drive that took just four plays
and 44 seconds.
IOWA COMEBACKS
Iowas rally for a 31-27 win over Pittsburgh (Sept. 17) is
believed to be the largest comeback for a win in Hawkeye
history, as the Hawkeyes trailed by 21 points (24-3) with
3:11 remaining in the third quarter. Following is a list of
previous Iowa rallies that are believed to be the largest in
school history:
Iowa rallied from an 18-point decit in a 34-31 win over
Oregon in 1949 in Iowa City. Iowa trailed 24-6 with 2:30
left in the third quarter against the Ducks.
Iowa rallied from a 17-0 rst half decit for a 30-27 win at
Minnesota in 1986, winning on a 37-yard eld goal with
one second remaining.
Iowa rallied from a 17-0 rst half decit for a 37-30 home
win over Michigan State in 1996. Iowa rallied to tie the
game at 23 and 30 before scoring the winning touchdown
early in the fourth period.
Iowa rallied from a 14-point decit for a 42-24 win over
Indiana in 2009 at Kinnick Stadium. The Hawkeyes trailed
21-7 in the third period when an 86-yard interception return
sparked Iowas rally.
Iowas rally ties as the second largest this season among
FBS teams. Houston rallied from a 27-point decit to take
a win over Louisiana Tech, while Nebraska rallied from
21 points down to defeat Ohio State.
TEN IS BIGGEST LOSS
Iowas 37-21 loss To Michigan State marked the rst Iowa
loss by more than 10 points in 53 games, dating back to a
31-6 loss at Purdue on Oct. 20, 2007. Iowa did not lose a
game by more than a touchdown in 43 consecutive games,
between a 28-19 loss to Western Michigan on Nov. 17, 2007
to the 13-3 loss at Penn State this season (Oct. 8). In the loss
at Penn State, Iowa failed to score a touchdown for the rst
time since that 2007 loss at Purdue.
WINNING AT HOME
Iowa has won 55 of its last 67 games (.821) in Kinnick
Stadium, dating back to the 2002 season, including a 6-1
record in 2011. Iowa recorded a school-record 22-game
home winning streak between 2002-05, which ended with
an overtime loss to Michigan.
Iowa is 23-5 (.821) at home since the start of the 2008 season
and 24-1 (.960) in its last 25 non-conference home games.
Iowa has won 12 straight non-conference home games since
the nal game of 2007.

FERENTZ JOINS CHALLENGE
Iowa Coach Kirk Ferentz and Iowa State Coach Paul Rhoads
have joined forces with the Iowa Mentoring Partnership for
the 2011 Coaches Challenge. The Coaches Challenge runs
from Aug. 1-Nov. 21 and is a competition between Iowa,
Nebraska and Kansas to see which state can recruit the most
mentors.
For three years, Kansas and Nebraska have competed in a
Coaches Mentoring Challenge, with Bo Pelini (Nebraksa),
Bill Snyder (Kansas State) and Turner Gill (Kansas) taking
part in the competition. Ferentz and Rhoads have joined the
competition this season.
According to The National Mentoring Partnership, there
are 15 million children in the nation in need of caring and
quality mentors. In Iowa, it is estimated that nearly 5,000
young people are currently in need of a mentor. Many

GAME RECAP
Minnesota scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter to rally
for a 22-21 win over Iowa in Minneapolis. The Gophers scored the
winning points on a fourth down, three-yard run with 2:48 remaining
in the game. Iowas defense held Minnesota out of the end zone on
the two-point conversion attempt, but the Hawkeyes were unable
to move into eld goal position on their last possession.
Iowa dominated much of the game, but the Hawkeyes were able
to convert just three of six red zone possessions into points. The
Hawkeyes missed two eld goals in the rst half before taking a
7-0 advantage on a 12-yard pass from QB James Vandenberg to
WR Marvin McNutt, Jr. The play completed a 53-yard scoring drive
following a fumble recovery by DB Jordan Bernstine. Minnesota
answered with a touchdown with 1:13 left in the half, leaving the
score tied at seven at the midway point.
Iowa drove 63 yards on its rst possession of the second half,
taking a 14-7 lead on a one-yard run by RB Marcus Coker. After
the Iowa defense forced a second straight three-and-out, the
Hawkeyes seemed poised for another score after reaching the
Gopher 14. But a Vandenberg fumble was recovered by the
Gophers and Minnesota drove to a 28-yard eld goal.
Iowa increased its advantage on its following possession,
covering 71 yards in just seven plays. Vandenberg completed a
12-yard pass to OL Woody Orne (tackle eligible) on third down
before Coker scored his second touchdown from the one, and
Iowa led 21-10 with 13:51 to play.
Minnesota closed the gap to 21-16 with 8:22 remaining,
driving 80 yards in 11 plays. The two-point conversion failed,
but Minnesota kept momentum by recovering an onside kick to
maintain possession. The Gophers drove to fourth down at the
three, where QB MarQueis Gray scored the winning points.
Iowas offense dominated much of the rst three quarters.
Despite just seven offensive plays in the nal quarter, Iowa gained
446 yards total offense and had just one punt. Minnesota gained
371 yards total offense, with 155 yards coming in the nal period.
In addition, 100 of Minnesotas 193 passing yards came on two
long completions that led to 10 Gopher points.
Coker led the Iowa offense with 32 attempts for 252 yards and
the two scores. The yardage ranks as the third best single-game
total in school history. Vandenberg completed 16-24 passes for
177 yards and a touchdown, with no interceptions. McNutt, Jr. led
Hawkeye receivers with seven receptions for 101 yards.
LB James Morris matched a career best with 13 tackles to lead

Nielsen each added six stops and DB Shaun Prater had his third
caused fumble of the year.
