Hawkeyes Dominate with Rushing Stars | Iowa Hawkeyes Football News

Iowa’s 40-0 shutout of Northern Illinois was a statement win powered by an unstoppable running game and a suffocating defense. Kamari Moulton dominated with 183 rushing yards and two touchdowns, while the offense churned out 289 yards on the ground — earning an A-plus. Tony Diaz emerged as a breakout star with seven catches for 84 yards and a TD, giving the receiving corps a solid B-plus. Quarterback Cade Brown started strong, but backup Luke Hecklinski struggled after taking over, throwing an interception. Special teams had a mixed bag — Evan James delivered a 77-yard punt return TD, but kicker Caden Buhr missed key kicks, leaving the unit at a C-minus. L.J. Phillips’ injury adds concern, but the Hawkeyes’ ground attack is clearly their strength heading into the season.
