What happened
ESPN RECAPNo. 5 Iowa holds off Minnesota 40-35
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- It seems like every week, Iowa finds someone else to help it stave off defeat. This time it, LeShun Daniels gave the Hawkeyes just enough to keep their playoff hopes alive. Daniels rushed for 195 yards and three touchdowns and No. 8 Iowa held off Minnesota 40-35 on Saturday night to start 10-0 for the first time in school history. C.J. Beathard threw for 213 yards and ran for two touchdowns for the Hawkeyes (10-0, 6-0 Big Ten, No. 5 CFP). Iowa can clinch the Big Ten West and a spot in the league title game with a win over Purdue next week. "The only pressure any of us are feeling right now is to not let each other down," Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. The Gophers made it interesting late. Running back Shannon Brooks threw a 42-yard TD pass to Drew Wolitarsky and ran one in from 3 yards out in the final 5:32.
