The young Hawkeyes bullied the Pac-10 co-Champion and 20th-ranked Huskies, leading 21–0 at half and 38–6 early in the 4th quarter before cruising to a 20-point victory. Sedrick Shaw and Tavian Banks each ran for over 100 yards, as Iowa outgained Washington 229–90 on the ground. Iowa kickers combined for 5 field goals to stretch the lead in the first half.

Iowa ended the season on a 3-game winning streak, earning a #25 ranking in the final AP poll and a #22 ranking in the final Coaches' poll.

This was the Hawkeyes' first win over a ranked opponent since the 1991 season, and Iowa's first bowl victory since the 1987 Holiday Bowl.
