Mark Gronowski News: Two total scores in blowout

Gronowski was 12-for-19 passing for 135 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 41-3 victory versus Minnesota. He also had nine rushes for 24 yards with one touchdown.

Though his yardage total was modest once again, Gronowski made the plays necessary to lead the Hawkeyes to a blowout win over Minnesota on Saturday. The 6-foot-2 quarterback found the end zone with his arm for the first time since Week 3, connecting with receiver Reece Vander Zee on a 29-yard scoring strike in the second quarter, giving Iowa an early 24-0 lead. Gronowski also found the end zone with his legs for the eighth consecutive game, crossing the goal line on a two-yard plunge in the first quarter to get the Hawkeyes on the board. A tough matchup against a talented Oregon defense awaits following the team's upcoming bye.
