In the second quarter, running back Aaron Greving scored on a 1 yard touchdown run to increase Iowa's lead to 10-0. At the end of the half, kicker Clinton Greathouse kicked a 50 yard field goal, to pull Tech to within 10-3.

In the third quarter, quarterback Kliff Kingsbury connected with wide receiver Wes Welker for a 20 yard touchdown pass to tie the game at 10.

In the fourth quarter, he kicked another field goal, this one from 46 yards out to give Iowa a 16-10 lead.

Iowa's defense continued to force Texas Tech to attempt field goals rather than score touchdowns. Robert Treece kicked a 23-yard field goal to cut Iowa's lead to 16-13. Tech's defense held, and Tech got the ball back. This time, Robert Treece kicked a 37 yard field goal to tie the game at 16. Nate Kaeding provided the winning score, by kicking a 47 yard field goal, to make the final score 19-16.
