Junior QB C.J. Beathard is 3-0 as Iowa’s starng quarterback, a record that includes a 2-0

mark on the road and a 1-0 mark at home.

The Hawkeyes are trying to improve to 3-0 for the rst me since 2009. Iowa has advanced

to a bowl game every season it has started 3-0 (2001, 2003, 2006, 2008, 2009). Iowa has

opened the season with a 2-0 record in 11 of the past 15 seasons.

Senior WR Tevaun Smith needs 16 yards to become the 37th player in program history to

accumulate 1,000 yards receiving in a career.

Junior WR Ma VandeBerg has scored a touchdown in three straight games and leads the

Big Ten with 15 recepons.

QB C.J. Beathard replaced injured QB Jake Rudock to start the second half against Pi last

season. Beathard led Iowa to three straight scoring drives, nishing the game 7-of-8 for 98

yards and rallying Iowa to a 24-20 win.

Pi is one of two Power Five schools on Iowa’s nonconference schedule (Iowa State: W,

31-17). Only four other Big Ten teams (Iowa, Michigan, Northwestern, and Rutgers) have

two Power Five schools on their nonconference schedule.

Pi was vicm to Iowa’s largest comeback in school history when the teams last met in

Kinnick Stadium in 2011. The Hawkeyes trailed 24-3 with 3:11 le in the third quarter, but

rallied to score 28 points the last 16:16 to win 31-27.

Iowa is one of only ve schools in the country yet to allow a rushing touchdown or 100

rushing yards.

Iowa is 6-4 all-me in night games in Kinnick Stadium.

Iowa holds an all-me record of 7-11 (.389) against current members of the Atlanc

Syracuse (3-1), and one was against Georgia Tech (1-0) in the 2010 Orange Bowl. Iowa

is winless in four games against Miami (Fla.), and three games against NC State.

LAST MEETING

For the second me in as many meengs, Iowa rallied past Pisburgh in the fourth

quarter for victory. Trailing 20-17 at the start of the fourth quarter, Iowa engineered

a 13-play, 52-yard touchdown drive that proved to be the game-winning score in a

24-20 win.

Each team scored a touchdown in the rst period. The Panthers scored rst on

a Chris James 14-yard rush. On the next possession, Iowa QB Jake Rudock found TE

Henry Krieger-Coble, on a fourth down play, in the end zone from 13 yards out to even

the score.

Pisburgh dominated the second quarter, scor-

ing 10 points on a James Connor 1-yard run and a

Chris Blewi 33-yard eld goal. The Hawkeyes had

possession for 2:44, running only ve plays during

the second period, and Pi went into halime

with a 17-7 lead.

QB C.J. Beathard replaced an injured Rudock

at the start of the second half. Beathard led Iowa

on three straight scoring drives beginning with

a seven-play, season-long 94-yard drive that re-

sulted in a RB Mark Weisman 10-yard scoring run to cut the decit to 17-14.

Each team traded eld goals before the end of the third quarter, including Iowa PK

Marshall Koehn connecng from a career-long distance of 52 yards. The 52-yard eld

goal equals the eighth-longest eld goal in school history.

Weisman tallied his second TD of the game with 6:56 remaining in the contest togive the Hawkeyes a 24-20 advantage.

Iowa’s defense stopped Pisburgh on the Panthers’ nal two drives, including

Anthony Gair collecng his rst career intercepon as me expired to preserve the

victory.

Beathard combined to complete 12-of-18 passes for 178 yards and a TD. Beathard was

7-of-8 for 98 yards, with 62 of the 98 yards coming on a pass to WR Damond Powell,

which helped set up Iowa’s rst touchdown of the second half.

THE POWER OF THREE The Hawkeyes are trying to improve to 3-0 for the rst me since 2009, and the

sixth me under Kirk Ferentz. Iowa nished 11-2 the last me it started the season

3-0. The 2009 Hawkeyes won their rst nine games, nished 11-2 overall, and won

the 2010 FedEx Orange Bowl.

Iowa has advanced to a bowl game every season it has started 3-0 (2001, 2003,

2006, 2008, 2009).

NO YARDS, NO TOUCHDOWNS FOR YOU

The Hawkeyes have allowed 98 yards rushing and zero touchdowns through two

games. Iowa is one of only ve schools in the country to perform the feat (Boston

College, Rutgers, Duke, and Kansas State). The Hawkeyes are allowing just 1.78 yard

per carry (10th naonally and No. 1 in the Big Ten). Iowa also leads the Big Ten andranks eighth naonally in rushing defense (49 ypg).

Iowa did not allow a rushing touchdown in the rst three games in 2014 before

Pi recorded two rushing touchdowns in the fourth game of the season.

State on Sept. 12. His net gain of 77 yards threatened his career-high of 82 set at the
