Running back Leshon Williams also had a stellar game, rushing for 84 yards and a touchdown. Williams' 15-yard touchdown run in the third quarter put the Hawkeyes up 24-0.

Iowa's defense was equally impressive, holding the Aggies to just 151 total yards. The Hawkeyes' defense recorded three sacks and forced two turnovers, including a fumble recovery by Kaevon Merriweather in the second quarter.

Special Teams Shine

Iowa's special teams unit also had a strong performance, with kicker Drew Stevens converting on two field goals, including a 45-yarder in the fourth quarter.
