IOWA CITY, IOWA (AP) -- Iowa could still be in the Big Ten race if it made a few plays that, given their talent and experience, the Hawkeyes should have made.

But they didn't, and now their highly anticipated season is a just a disappointing one.

No. 24 Iowa fell to 7-4 and 4-3 in the Big Ten after losing to Ohio State 20-17 on Saturday. The loss was eerily similar to its
other three defeats, in which the Hawkeyes also could have won if they had just made one or two more plays in the fourth quarter.

But it's clear that Iowa simply can't finish opponents off.

Terrelle Pryor cut through the Hawkeyes defense for a 14-yard gain on fourth-and-10 with about four minutes left, and Dan
Herron's 1-yard touchdown run with 1:47 to go sealed the win for the Buckeyes.
