By Sara Meinecke and Sarah Meinecke · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

A dominant offense, an invisible defense. The tone of the game was set a mere 1:45 seconds into the game when Iowa scored on a 75-yard touchdown run. The entire drive consisted of three plays, and from then out the Iowa offense scored on all but one possession in the first half.
