From article:

In typical Iowa fashion, the Hawkeyes had a very difficult time moving the football in the first quarter, with three straight punts and a total of five yards gained on their first three drives. But also in typical Iowa fashion, their defense held them in the game, holding Iowa State to back-to-back field goals to end the first quarter down 6-0.

Something I noticed toward the end of the article, was that the new UMass head coach Joe Harasymiak runs a very similar defensive scheme to Rutgers. It should be added that Harasymiak was the Rutgers defensive coordinator from 2022 to 2024. So basically, Iowa played the jr. varsity version of the defensive scheme last week against UMass and will be playing the varsity version this weekend against Rutgers. Rutgers and UMass seem to be having similar issues with said defense. We'll see if that continues to hold up.
