ESPN RECAPIowa tops Purdue, clinches Big Ten West
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Iowa barely acknowledged winning the Big Ten West. The Hawkeyes have much bigger goals. C.J. Beathard threw three touchdown passes, and Iowa (No. 5 CFP, No. 6 AP) clinched the West title and a spot in the Big Ten championship game with a 40-20 win over Purdue on Saturday. LeShun Daniels Jr . ran for two TDs for the Hawkeyes (11-0, 7-0 Big Ten), who will play at Nebraska next week in search of their first 12-0 regular season -- just a year after finishing 7-6. Iowa's win, combined with Northwestern's victory at Wisconsin, gave the Hawkeyes the outright division title. "To me, it's just a matter of us focusing a little bit harder. Doing a little bit better," Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. "But ultimately it comes to everybody doing a much better job." Iowa let Purdue get within 20-13 in the third quarter.
