SEATTLE (AP) --- Kamari Moulton ran for a career-high 208 yards on 26 carries
and the Iowa defense held Washington to minus-3 yards rushing as the
20th-ranked Hawkeyes rolled to a 41-24 victory Friday night.
Jeremy Hecklinski, starting in place of injured Hawkeyes quarterback Hank
Brown, threw for 202 yards and three touchdowns on 14-of-19 passing. Moulton
averaged 8 yards per carry and scored twice against a struggling Huskies
defense.
Iowa (5-1, 2-1 Big Ten) bolted to a 13-0 lead in the first quarter as Caden
Buhr nailed field goals of 51 and 27 yards, and Moulton scored on a 56-yard
touchdown run.
Hecklinski connected with tight end DJ Vonnahme twice in the second quarter for
touchdown passes of 20 and 27 yards to make it 27-0.
Meanwhile, the Hawkeyes defense dominated UW early on, forcing punts on each of
Washington's first five drives while holding the Huskies (3-3, 0-3) to 95 yards
of total offense in the first half.
UW totaled 14 yards on 15 plays during its first five drives before finally
scoring on a 30-yard field goal from Tyler Robles with 1:56 left in the first
half.
Huskies quarterback Demond Williams Jr. left after taking a hit on that
second-quarter drive and went to the locker room for X-rays. He did not return.
Elijah Brown came in late in the first half and gave the offense a spark,
leading an eight-play, 75-yard drive to open the third quarter that ended with
a 10-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Chris Lawson.
The Hawkeyes and Huskies each scored another touchdown in the third to make it
34-18 before Moulton scored his second TD on a 3-yard run with 12:06 left in
the game.
Brown connected with Mason James for a 3-yard touchdown pass on the final play
of the game.
The takeaway Iowa: The Hawkeyes' consistent pressure on defense made life miserable for Washington, as Iowa finished with six sacks and eight tackles for loss while shutting down the Huskies' ground game. Washington: Brown breathed some life into the offense after Williams' exit, going 28-of-39 for 251 yards passing and three touchdowns. Williams is the starter, but Brown appears ready for his chance if Williams misses time with an injury.
Up next Iowa: After a bye week, the Hawkeyes visit Minnesota on Oct. 24. Washington: Will visit Purdue next Friday. ___ Sign up for Top 25 poll alerts here, visit the Top 25 here and see AP's full college football coverage here
