Minnesota Gophers upset No. 15 Iowa to claim Floyd of Rosedale

The Minnesota Golden Gophers secured a 13-10 upset victory over No. 15 Iowa at Huntington Bank Stadium, claiming the Floyd of Rosedale trophy. The game was decided in the final seconds when Luke Drzewiecki kicked a 46-yard field goal as time expired. The winning drive was set up by a 39-yard pass from Drake Lindsey to Jalen Smith with 39 seconds remaining.

Minnesota's defense played a pivotal role, holding Iowa to 163 total yards through three quarters and limiting the Hawkeyes to just 90 rushing yards. Iowa struggled with ball security, committing four turnovers, including three interceptions and a fumble. Despite outgaining Minnesota 288 to 209 in total yards, the Hawkeyes' inability to establish a run game and their turnover issues proved costly.

With this win, Minnesota improves to 5-2 (2-2 Big Ten), while Iowa also moves to 5-2 (2-2 Big Ten). The loss has significant implications for the rankings; Iowa fell 10 spots to No. 24 in the Coaches Poll and dropped out of the AP Top 25 entirely.
