Coach James Franklin said the oxygen was sucked out of Beaver Stadium when quarterback Trace McSorley did not get up after a hit in the second quarter against Iowa.

McSorley left the game for two offensive series with a right-leg injury before returning. In the third quarter, he ripped off a 51-yard touchdown run.
