Iowa is looking to clean up special teams mistakes as the Hawkeyes get ready for Friday night’s Big Ten opener at Rutgers. Kicker Drew Stevens missed an extra point and a 38-year field goal and the Hawkeyes had a punt blocked that led to the lone UMass touchdown in a 47-7 win. With an offense that struggles to create big plays the Hawkeyes margin for error is small and special teams mistakes will prove costly in the league race. Sophomore punter Rhys Dakin.

The punt team will need to be sharp. Rutgers has blocked three punts in a 3-0 start to the season.

Dakin says there have been no changes as they get ready for Rutgers.

Stevens hit the upright on a P-A-T attempt before missing from 38-yards.

Stevens did convert from 54 yards against UMass.
