Iowa football rises in updated US LBM Coaches Poll rankings

After a losing start to the season, the Iowa Hawkeyes turned things around with a strong 41-24 road win against the Washington Huskies on Friday night at Husky Stadium in Seattle. This victory marks Iowa's first win at Washington since 1963 and their first regular-season win in the Pacific time zone since 1965. The game was highlighted by a career-high 208-yard and two-touchdown performance on 26 carries by running back Kamari Moulton, including a remarkable 56-yard touchdown run in the first quarter.

Quarterback Jeremy Hecklinski made his first collegiate start, going 14 of 19 for 202 yards and three touchdowns. As a result of this win, Iowa has climbed two spots in the US LBM Coaches Poll, now sitting at No. 16 nationally. Indiana leads the Big Ten as the fourth-ranked team, while Ohio State is fifth. The top Big Ten schools in the poll include UCLA at No. 12, USC at No. 15, and Oregon at No. 25.
