Recap: Iowa crushes Wisconsin thanks to Kaleb Johnson's 3 touchdowns

Recap: Iowa crushes Wisconsin thanks to Kaleb Johnson's 3 touchdowns
LEADER. THANK YOU SCOTT. WE FOUND OUT THAT’S A 230 GAME FROM ARROWHEAD IN IOWA CITY A RIVALRY GAME. THE BATTLE FOR THE BRASS BOWL. BRENDAN SULLIVAN PICKING UP WHERE HE LEFT OFF WHEN HE PLAYED NORTHWESTERN NIGHT GAME UNDER THE LIGHTS. KINNICK. A BLACKOUT. WHAT A SCENE! WISCONSIN LED THREE. NOTHING EARLY, BUT FROM THERE, THE DEFENSE LOCKED IN. BRAYDEN LOCK LOOKING INTENDED FOR C.J. WILLIAMS. IT’S PICKED OFF BY DESHAWN LEE, AND THE HAWKEYES WOULD TAKE OVER AND THEY WOULD DRIVE DOWN THE FIELD FROM THERE. AND WHO ELSE? QB SNEAK BRENDAN SULLIVAN FINDING THE END ZONE. SULLY MAKES IT A SEVEN THREE HAWKEYE LEAD. NEXT DRIVE, HAWKEYES WOULD GO 80 YARDS AND IT’S CAPPED OFF BY WHO ELSE? THIS TIME? CALEB JOHNSON, 16 YARDS OUT. IOWA MAKES IT A 14 THREE LEAD. THAT WOULD BE THE SCORE AT THE HALF. CALEB JOHNSON IF IT WEREN’T FOR ASHTON. THAT’S YOUR DOAK WALKER WINNER RIGHT THERE. SECOND HALF HAWKEYES ARE GOING TO BLOW THIS GAME WIDE OPEN. THIS TIME IT’S JOHNSON FROM NINE YARDS OUT 21 TO 3. KINNICK WAS ROCKING IOWA WAS MOVING AND THEY WERE GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS BEHIND NUMBER TWO. AND HOW ABOUT A LITTLE TOUCHDOWN THROUGH THE AIR. A LITTLE BOOTLEG ACTION JACOB GILL FROM BRENDAN SULLIVAN. THE NORTHWESTERN TRANSFER MATE. ABSOLUTE DOMINATION WISCONSIN 42 TO 10 IOWA WINS. IT’S THE FOURTH 40 POINT PERFORMANCE OF THE YEAR FOR IOWA. THEY DIDN’T HAVE 440 POINT PERFORMANCES IN THE LAST FOUR SEASONS COMBINED. SHANNON EARHART LIVE IN IOWA CITY WITH MORE. JEFF, IT SEEMS LIKE IOWA HAS UPGRADED AT QUARTERBACK. BRENDAN SULLIVAN GETTING THE START TODAY. LIKE YOU MENTIONED, HE WAS IOWA’S RED ZONE QUARTERBACK BEFORE HE WON THE STARTING JOB BECAUSE CADE MCNAMARA GOT INJURED WHEN HE WAS THE RED ZONE QUARTERBACK. HE WAS EIGHT FOR EIGHT TONIGHT. HE WAS SIX FOR SIX. SO IT’S NO SURPRISE ALL 42 POINTS COMING IN THAT RED ZONE. BUT MORE SURPRISING THAN THAT THEY HAD 329 RUSHING YARDS AVERAGING SIX YARDS PER CARRY. IT’S ON BRAND FOR CALEB JOHNSON TO GO OFF. BUT KAMARI BOLTON SULLIVAN AND JAZZ PATTERSON PILED ON. BUT IT STARTS IN THE TRENCHES. THE HAWKS OWN THE BADGERS INSTEAD OF JOHNSON TAKING PROPS ON THE SIDELINE. I ACTUALLY WATCHED HIM GIVE THANKS TO HIS ENTIRE O LINE HIGH FIVING EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. KUDOS TO THE DEFENSE, TOO, FOR ANNOYING THE HECK OUT OF WISCONSIN. THE DEFENSE HELD WISCO TO 261 TOTAL YARDS AND FORCED TWO INTERCEPTIONS. THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT IOWA HAD 14 POINTS OFF OF THOSE TURNOVERS. NICK JACKSON HAD THAT SECOND INTERCEPTION. I HAD ASKED HIM AFTER THE GAME IF HE KNEW THAT HE REALLY HAD THE BALL AND HE SAID NO. I ACTUALLY COULDN’T PROCESS IT. I DIDN’T KNOW I HAD IT, BUT HE THEN AGAIN HAD GREAT FIELD POSITION. SO IOWA WAS ABLE TO CONVERT AFTER THAT. YOU SAW THE TROPHY CELEBRATION. ALL THE GUYS COULD SAY AFTER THAT WAS A LITTLE ALONG THE LINES OF THIS. YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES YOU’VE JUST GOT TO JUMP AROUND AFTER A WIN. YOU KNOW, IT’S A GREAT FEELING TO HAVE THE BOYS AROUND. I MEAN, IT’S SUPER FUN WHEN YOU GET A WIN LIKE THAT, ESPECIALLY AGAINST A BIG RIVAL, A TROPHY GAME AS WELL. IT WAS A BLACKOUT HERE. THE FANS WERE SUPER LOUD, VERY NOISY AND I THINK IT BOTHERED WISCONSIN AS WELL. IT’S THE FIRST TIME THIS SEASON THAT IOWA HAS WON TWO CONSECUTIVE POWER

Iowa currently owns a two-game winning streak, winning a 15-6 battle last year in Madison and a 24-10 contest in 2022, the last time the series was played at Kinnick Stadium.

Wisconsin football schedule, stats and more

Coach: Luke Fickell (13-9; 2nd year at Wisconsin)

Record: 5-3 overall, 3-2 in Big Ten play

Wisconsin has beaten the teams it was expected to beat — Western Michigan, South Dakota, Purdue, Rutgers and Northwestern — and lost to the likes of Alabama, USC and Penn State.

The Badgers are 24th in the nation defensively in points per game allowed at 18.9. Offensively, expect Wisconsin to rely on its run game. Wisconsin has run for 19 touchdowns compared to eight passing touchdowns this season.
