Iowa raced to a 10-point first-half lead, but couldn’t hold on Saturday during a 44-41 loss in three overtimes against Iowa State in front of 56,085, the second-largest crowd in Jack Trice Stadium history.

Iowa State improved to 2-0 and overcame three fumbles, two missed field goals and 11 penalties.

Iowa is 1-1, losing for the first time in the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk series since 2007.

Clearview graduate Anthony Hitchens recorded four tackles in the loss.
