Oliver Martin on his first catch and touchdown for the #Hawkeyes: "I had a good idea that he was going to throw it to me beforehand based off of the coverage."

Kirk Ferentz thanked the fans for a "great environment. A night game at Kinnick is always special, but the crowd was really tremendous. Great to have a sellout on a holiday."

Tristan Wirfs on moving to left tackle: "I wasn't expecting it, but it wasn't as tough as I thought." #Hawkeyes
— HawkeyeHQ.com's Ryan Jaster (@Hawkologist) September 1, 2019
Many #Hawkeyes were impressed by the offensive line play after Alaric Jackson's injury. A.J. Epenesa praised Tristan Wirfs & Kyler Schott: "Shooter… one of my best friends on the team. Typical Iowa guy, walk-on, works hard… strong, real strong… the o-line was kicking butt."
— Hawkeye Headquarters (@HawkeyeHQ) September 1, 2019
Kirk Ferentz also complimented Tristan Wirfs and the adjustments the offensive line made: "Some young faces, but overall I thought those guys played well."

Rutgers is next for Iowa: "We're going to treat it like it's the Super Bowl," A.J. Epenesa said after the #Hawkeyes' 38-14 win over Miami.
— HawkeyeHQ.com's Ryan Jaster (@Hawkologist) September 1, 2019
Kirk Ferentz on A.J. Epenesa being double-teamed: "It's two checkers for one, right? It's been a long time since I played checkers in a while but I think that's a good thing."
