Iowa overwhelmed Massachusetts 47-7 on Saturday in a lopsided Week 3 matchup. The Hawkeyes jumped out to an early 20-0 lead in the first quarter, establishing control from the opening possession. Mark Gronowski led Iowa's offensive assault, connecting with Seth Anderson for a touchdown pass in the first quarter and later scoring on a 13-yard rushing touchdown in the second quarter. Hank Brown also contributed significantly in the fourth quarter, completing a 32-yard pass to Nathan McNeil to set up another scoring opportunity.

Massachusetts managed only seven points, scoring a single touchdown in the second quarter. AJ Hairston led the Minutemen's passing attack with 56 yards, while Rocko Griffin caught 9 passes and Donnie Gray rushed for 9 yards in a frustrating offensive performance.

Iowa's defense was relentless throughout, with Massachusetts unable to sustain any momentum. The game exceeded the 44-point over-under, and Iowa covered the 35-point spread decisively. The Hawkeyes' dominance never wavered, with Iowa outscoring Massachusetts in every quarter except the fourth, when both teams scored seven points.
