Shaw Romps For 113 Yards As Iowa Beats Texas Tech

Alamo Bowl

Sedrick Shaw rushed for 113 yards and upstaged Texas Tech’s Byron Hanspard as No. 21 Iowa shut out the Red Raiders 27-0 Sunday night in the Alamo Bowl.

Shaw, Iowa’s career rushing leader, carried 20 times in surpassing his season average of 91 yards per game. Hanspard, a 2,000-yard rusher, carried 18 times for 64 yards, falling far short of his 190-yard season average.

The Hawkeyes have faced eight of the nation’s top 20 rushers this season, and only Northwestern’s Darnell Autry managed to reach his season average.

Publicity surrounding Hanspard all week had overshadowed Shaw, who hails from Austin’s LBJ High School. Hanspard plans to announce today whether he will forgo his final year and turn pro.

The Hawkeyes (9-3) finished their thrashing of the Red Raiders (7-5) with a 14-yard touchdown run by Rodney Filer with 2:09 left, capping a 99-yard drive.

It was the first shutout of Texas Tech since a 31-0 loss to Arkansas in 1987.
