Here’s how the game unfolded.
That’ll be a shutout loss \u2014 Iowa’s second of the season \u2014 and the Hawkeyes will find out their bowl destination Sunday.
Mercifully, this one is just about over.
Michigan takes over in Iowa territory after a Deacon Hill sack leading 26-0 with under 2:00 to go.
This has become a blowout as Michigan now leads by four possessions with 3:38 to go. It’s 26-0, and Iowa is playing for pride at this point.
Michigan scoring drive: 6 plays, 23 yards, 3:46<\/em>
It’s now 23-0 after a Michigan field goal from 36 yards out. 9:14 remains on the clock.
Michigan scoring drive: 4 plays, -3 yards, 1:43<\/em>
That didn’t go according to plan.
Michigan takes over at the Iowa 15 after Deacon Hill was a little too casual in the pocket. The Michigan pass rush got home, and Hill lost the ball as he was about to throw it.

It’s time to see what Iowa’s passing game is made of, with a 20-point deficit and just 12:13 on the clock. Iowa needs points and it needs them as quickly as possible.
That may have been a bit of a white flag from the Iowa offense.
Iowa punts it back to Michigan with 14:47 to play, down 20-0. The Hawkeyes were deep in their own territory and faced fourth-and-8, but time is running out fast for Iowa to make a comeback.
Iowa will need a miracle to get back in this one.
The Hawkeyes have the ball inside their own 30 when the fourth quarter begins, and they’ll need three touchdowns at a minimum to pull this one out. So far, Iowa has just four first downs and the offense just crossed the 100-yard mark on the final play of the quarter.
Iowa’s defense got a big stop to keep Michigan out of the red zone, but Michigan still got points on the board.
It’s 20-0 with 22 seconds to go in the third quarter after a 46-yard kick from James Turner.
Michigan scoring drive: 9 plays, 28 yards, 4:46<\/em>
Iowa and Michigan fans showed out.
With 67,842 in attendance at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, the fans have set a new title game record, according to the Big Ten.

The Hawkeyes are getting more desperate with a 17-point deficit, and an aggressive fourth-down decision came back to bite.
Deacon Hill’s fourth-down QB sneak didn’t get the necessary one yard for a first down, so Michigan will take possession at its own 44-yard line.
STOPPED<\/p>\n

A tough break for Iowa after what looked like an incomplete pass was overturned and rule a fumble, giving Michigan the ball at the 6-yard line.
Blake Corum scored on the first play to make it 17-0, Michigan, with 9:09 on the clock in the third quarter.

Iowa’s defense came to play.
Michigan moved to midfield but had to punt. Kaden Wetjen’s fair catch will put Iowa at its own 6-yard line for its first drive of the second half.
The Hawkeyes had a huge chance to flip the momentum, but a near-interception fell incomplete.

Perhaps the most polarizing part of Saturday’s game… the halftime event in which college students throw footballs \u2014 with less-than-stellar form \u2014 in a contest for free tuition.

A slightly better second quarter for the Hawkeyes saw zero points surrendered, but Iowa’s offense also couldn’t find the end zone.
Michigan outgained Iowa 111-61 in the first half, and Tory Taylor had more punts (6) than Iowa’s offense had first downs (2).
Michigan will receive the second-half opening kickoff.
Deacon Hill’s third-down pass was broken up near the line of scrimmage and Michigan will have the ball inside their own 20 after Tory Taylor’s 68-yard punt \u2014 yes, 68.

Two huge shifts in momentum in a short amount of time. In the end, Iowa gets the ball back at its own 9-yard line with 3:21 to go before half.
Iowa’s defense has done its job, allowing just 84 yards of offense and only 8 rushing yards to Michigan. But the special teams and offensive units haven’t pulled their weight, leading to the 10-0 margin.
That one hurts.
The ball is out and @UMichFootball<\/a> has it! <\/p>\n

Iowa will get no points despite the great starting field position after Jaziun Patterson was hit near the first-down marker and fumbled. Michigan recovered and will have the ball at the 29-yard line.
Phil Parker’s defense is keeping Iowa in this, at least for now.
The Hawkeye defense forced a three-and-out after McCarthy stumbled backward and took a 16-yard sack. A poor punt will give Iowa the ball at the Michigan 38.
Iowa’s offense can’t seem to string positive plays together.
Iowa has just 42 yards on 18 plays and only a couple of first downs.
Tory Taylor boomed a 53-yard punt that went out of bounds at the Michigan 28. The Wolverines take over there with 7:16 to go before halftime.
How about that Hawkeye defense?
Iowa forces a punt after Deontae Craig got to J.J. McCarthy in the backfield for a sack and a loss of 7 yards.
CRAIG WITH THE SACK<\/p>\n

The @HawkeyeFootball<\/a> defense is causing problems out there \ud83d\ude24 pic.twitter.com\/5UbUKCBbyN<\/a>
Iowa takes over in its own territory after the punt.
Deacon Hill’s third-down pass for Kaleb Brown fell incomplete. Tory Taylor bombed a punt 57 yards for a touchback, and the Wolverines will have the ball at their own 20.
Not an ideal start to the game for the Hawkeyes, but the offense did just pick up a first down. Iowa will have possession at its own 36 with a fresh set of downs when the second quarter begins.
That’s not gonna help.
Tory Taylor’s punt traveled 52 yards, but Semaj Morgan nearly took the return to the house. He went 87 yards and was pushed out at the Iowa 5.

On fourth-and-1, Jim Harbaugh elects to kick the field goal. The kick is good and the Wolverines have the first points of the game.
Michigan scoring drive: 13 plays, 52 yards, 7:35<\/em>
No easy yards against this Hawkeye defense.

Iowa had a chance to get a huge stop and get the ball back with good field position, but Michigan kept it moving with a clutch fourth-down conversion.

A third-down drop ended Iowa’s first possession. Michigan takes over at its own 31 after a Tory Taylor punt.
Looks like the Hawkeyes’ offense will get the first chance to put points on the board.
