Illinois scored a rushing TD on Iowa this season. That is the only rushing TD scored on Iowa so far.

FWIW - Bama gave up 2 rushing TDs in their first 11 games last year, and they also played a significantly tougher slate. That is much, much more impressive.

2011 Bama, 2 thru 8 games and 3 for the year.

When was the last time Iowa played Houston?

I'm relatively sure they've never played... probably until the Peach bowl this year anyway

Never according to cfbdatawarehouse.

That would be interesting. Iowa has given up 13 pass TDs and forced 12 int.

No idea how Houston would fair against Iowa's defense, but did you know that the Cougars are ninth in the country in rushing yards per game and that QB Greg Ward Jr. has run for more TDs than any player in the country?
