No. 23 Iowa hands No. 7 Minnesota its first loss, 23-19

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Minnesota's undefeated season came to an end in a place where the Gophers have struggled for a while. Nate Stanley threw two touchdown passes and Tyler Goodson ran for a score to help No. 23 Iowa beat No. 7 Minnesota 23-19 on Saturday, handing the Gophers their first loss while hurting their playoff prospects. The Gophers (9-1, 6-1, No. 8 CFP) haven't won at Kinnick Stadium since 1999, losing nine straight on the road in the series. The loss will hurt them in the rankings, but they stay in control of their own fate in the Big Ten West Division race. That, coach P.J. Fleck said, is something his team needs to remember. "This is one game," Fleck said. "Everything else is sitting right in front of us. If we can play a game that poorly, we can come back from it. "This is not the end of the world. It hurts. It should hurt -- it's a rivalry game.
