Iowa City, Iowa - The No. 18 Iowa Hawkeyes dominated Northern Iowa 55-0 on Saturday, with Xavier Williams, Nathan McNeil, and Braeden Jackson each rushing for over 100 yards. Williams led the way with 151 yards and three touchdowns on just six carries, while Jackson added 125 yards and a rushing touchdown along with a 24-yard TD catch.
McNeill contributed 111 yards and two scores. This marks the first time since 1983 that Iowa has had three running backs reach the 100-yard mark in a single game. Despite the absence of their top rusher, Kamari Moulton, who was injured earlier in the week, the Hawkeyes amassed an impressive 422 yards on the ground and 640 total yards against their Football Championship Subdivision opponent.
The Hawkeyes scored on their first five possessions and took a 42-0 halftime lead. Jaxon Dailey threw for 91 yards and two interceptions for the Panthers, who finished with 155 yards of total offense. Northern Iowa faces a challenging matchup against Illinois State next week, while Iowa will host Michigan and then travel to No. 19 Michigan next Saturday.
