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

Minnesota’s defense proved decisive, forcing four turnovers—including three interceptions and a fumble—and limiting Iowa to just 90 rushing yards. Although Iowa outgained Minnesota in total yards (288 to 209), the Hawkeyes struggled with execution, converting only 4 of 16 third downs.

Iowa utilized two quarterbacks during the contest. Jeremy Hecklinski started the game but was replaced in the second quarter by Hank Brown, who threw for 136 yards and a touchdown.

Following the upset, both teams moved to 5-2 records (2-2 in the Big Ten). The loss significantly impacted Iowa’s standing, causing the Hawkeyes to fall 10 spots to No. 24 in the Coaches Poll and drop out of the AP Top 25 entirely.
