Iowa football was riding the high of a trick-play touchdown in the second quarter.

Hawkeyes quarterback Gronowski handed the ball off to Kaden Wetjen, who flipped it on a reverse to Reece Vander Zee. Vander Zee, who spent some of his high school career playing quarterback, then threw it to Gronowski, who had leaked into the end zone for a touchdown.

It was the first passing touchdown of Vander Zee’s college career and third receiving touchdown of Gronowski’s college career. Surprisingly, Gronowski caught two touchdown passes during his South Dakota State career.

That gave Iowa a 21-7 lead with 3:24 left in the first half.

But it was an epic meltdown from Iowa the rest of the way. Need a news break? Check out the all new PLAY hub with puzzles, games and more!
