IOWA NOTEBOOK

Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz watches his team during a timeout of the Iowa-NDSU game at Kinnick on Sept. 17. NDSU defeated Iowa in the final seconds of the game with a 37-yard field goal, 23-21. (The Daily Iowan/Margaret Kispert) HAWKEYES MOVE ON The Hawkeyes digest the North Dakota State loss, a battle of father and son, and injury updates.

By JORDAN HANSEN | [email protected] Iowa has to regroup this week and a not-great Rutgers team isn’t a terrible opponent to do that against. Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz has a 24-hour rule. “It was pretty quiet on Sunday, as you might well imagine, and it should be,” Ferentz Basically, it means the team has the day after a loss to “mourn” it. The team also said. “You’re affected by it, but then the big thing about any time you get disappoint- watches the game film on Sunday, and more than one player mentioned that it was ment in sports or life you’ve got to move on at some point, and in sports and football, tough to watch. that starts Monday morning.” The team, however, is set on heading on. “You have to learn from a loss,” cornerback Desmond King said. “That’s the only Niemann vs. Niemann good thing you can take from it.” Iowa didn’t lose a game last year until the Big Ten Championship against Michigan Father versus son matchups are not exactly common in Division-I college football, State, so this is something a little foreign to the team. That said, conference play starts but this week, Iowa linebacker Ben Niemann will be in that position. this weekend, and the Hawkeyes don’t have a whole lot of turnaround time. His father, Jay Niemann, is the defensive coordinator at Rutgers. Rutgers is 2-1, losing to Washington in their only game against a Power-5 school this season. It’s the Hawkeyes’ first road game of 2016, which brings its own set of challenges. SEE IOWA, 8
