Smith Jersey Hawkeyes (5-4 overall, 3-3 Big Ten) have won back-to-back games for the second time this season by going into a place where trouble has found them in recent seasons and coming away with an impre sive win.Iowas offense had a season-high 376 yards. Running back Kaleb Johnson had 200 of those on 22 carries.The defense held Purdue (5-4, 3-3) without a touchdown and limited the Boilermakers to 255 yards of offense.Throw in the special teams Drew Stevens had a 26-yard field goal, and Tory Taylor averaged 51.8 yards per punt on a day when the wind howled through Ro s-Ade Stadium and it proved to be the most complete game of the season for the Hawkeyes.It was Iowas first win at Purdue since 2016.A look at the takeaways from the Rajon Rondo Jersey game:A 200-YARD RUSHERJohnson, a true freshman, has been impre sive all season, but he has secured his spot as the Hawkeyes top back with one of the best rushing days in program history.It was the second-best rushing total for an Iowa freshman behind Marcus Cokers 219-yard game in the 2010 Insight Bowl. Johnson showed his speed on a 75-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter the longest for the Hawkeyes since Tyler Goodsons 80-yard run against Wisconsin in 2020 that helped put this game away, and he showed his durability with his 22-carry day.Johnsons game also was a sign thatTHE OFFENSIVE LINE HAS FOUND THE RIGHT COMBINATIONScroll to ContinueOne of Iowas main problems early in the season was finding the perfect combination on the offensive line, and the Hawkeyes may have found that with its current group.The group of Logan Jones, Beau Stephens, Connor Colby, Mason Richman and Jack Plumb kept Iowas offense in a consistent rhythm. The Hawkeyes averaged 6.5 yards per play Marc Gasol Jersey , and while quarterback Spencer Petras was sacked three times, there were plenty of occasions where he had time to set his feet and deliver an on-target pa s.Iowa had similar struggles early last season before the offensive line helped deliver a late-season surge. After two games, it looks like its working again.STEADY PETRASPetras was at his best in the first half when Iowas route-running helped get plenty of different receivers open.Petras was 13-of-23 for 192 yards, but threw touchdown pa ses of 16 yards to tight end Sam LaPorta and 29 yards to Nico Ragaini. He also had a 41-yard completion to LaPorta and a 22-yarder to tight end Luke Lachey.What helped his numbers were the yards-after-catch. Lachey had 19 yards on his lone reception of the Gail Goodrich Jersey day, and Ragaini had 48 yards on his. Thats a sign of health in Iowas pa sing game good routes, and down-field blocking.KEEPING UP WITH JONESSo much talk of this game was about former Iowa wide receiver Charlie Jones, and what could be his impact on the game.Jones was a favorite target of Purdue quarterback Aidan OConnell. Jones was targeted 19 times on 43 OConnell throws, and he finished with 11 catches for 104 yards. But he, like the rest of the Boilermakers Jared Dudley Jersey , was kept out of the end zone.Tyrone Tracy Jr., another former Hawkeye, was targeted just twice and didnt have a reception.TURNING THEM OVERAnd if were talking about complete games, just look at the Hawkeyes defense.The Hawkeyes never let the Boilermakers get into any sort of rhythm. OConnell was sacked three times and was hurried once. Linebacker Seth Benson and safety Kaevon Merriweather had interceptions that were converted into 10 points for the Hawkeyes.Everyone, it seemed, had a role. The Hawkeyes had 56 tackles spread around 19 players, with linebacker Jack Campbell and safety Quinn Schulte leading the way with six. Lukas Van Ne s, Deontae Craig and Joe Evans each had a sack. | |
