Iowa

I've never seen a QB sneak where the QB is right behind the line... some of the line ends up 3 yard forward ... and they still blow it.


It's magical.

Some poor Missouri DL are for sure thinking "Damn they got it ...uh wat?"

What are you talking about?
1st down sack for -13
2nd pass for 19 yds
3rd pass for 3 yards
4th and 1: they try a QB sneak and MS LB/S times snap perfect and leaps over O-line and they stop him well short

The above was the sequence.....I was struggling on who to cheer for TBH....my question was on the 3rd down pass, the spot was very questionable (i thought it was a 1st down) In college is there a mechanism to get a review of the spot or did Iowa screw up by not calling their last TO to make it happen?

I struggled with it too. Basically it was a win/win. Either Iowa loses or the SEC drops another game.

Also.....that QB sneak was an abomination.

To be fair to the qb, the leaping guy totally destroys the ability go forward. And at least 2 Missouri guys are offside. That said, love to see Iowa lose in hilarious fashions such as this
 




Some guy said:
Before today they were 33-0 in their last 33 where they scored 21+

It isn’t just the gophers they look really good against sometimes.

They’re 89-39 their last 128 games


You must not watch them very often if you think they usually look like a JV team. You probably only watch them vs the gophers and the big boys.

They do indeed win a game or two. I’m aware.
 






I still have a hard time considering Mizzou a real SEC team, and I hate Iowa, so I wasn't bothered by the result. That ending, watching Iowa's offense implode while Ferentz looking like he just soiled himself, was pure chef's kiss. Now, Illinois has a tough task against a very good SC team and Michigan has zero offense but I hope the BIG can handle business today.

Yeah those guys we definitely offsides. I mean, they were inches away from each other!

Yeah the SEC chants are so stupid. When the Gophers played Mizzou in the bowl game I was there and they fired that out towards the end of the game. I asked my buddy, can you imagine saying B! I! G! B! I! G! He was like, no we are not that dumb…we might go into the rouser but no chanting about the conference. So stupid!

Too bad Oregon and OSU have to play each other so early.

Time to root for Meatchicken against another team I despise…The Crimson Tide of Alabama (insert Keith Jackson voice)
 

Also Ferentz made a head scratching move with the score tied at 14. On Missouri’s 40 yard line on 4th and two, Iowa took a delay of game to set up a punt instead of going for it or attempting a fg.

Missouri drove 42 yards on the next possession but didn’t cross the 50

Punted

Then Iowa scored on the next possession.

We’re up 21-14 at half.


Had they gone for it and not gotten it…all else being equal Missouri’s 4th and 10 from the Iowa 48 would’ve been a 4th and 10 from the Iowa 18 and they may have been down 17-14

They may have ended up being 21-17 at half anyways and it may have all played out completely different. But the way the next two drives played out, IMO vindicated that decision
 

Have a really hard time seeing Michigan stay within 21 today with all the guys they have out. Will be interesting to see how long Alabama’s guys play

Well pouring rain may be exactly what they need to keep this close
 

Well just whine a little about missed opportunities seeing Illinois and the bowl game they are in compared to the one we are in is a buzz kill. We’re in a longish bad streak of shitty bowl games that we need to break next year. That said, still looking forward to kickoff on the third.

Would love to see Michigan blow Alabama out. Looks like bad Milroe is here for Alabama so should be lots of turnover opportunities for Michigan today.

Games like this are exactly why I can’t see any way you’d ever let him qb an nfl offense
 





SEC shills quickly getting online:

“It’s clear Bama’s heart isn’t in it after being snubbed from the playoffs. The SEC will remain undefeated in bowl games they care about.”

Alabama celebrating Michigan getting a first down because they hit him hard tells you all you need to know about this game and these teams
