I was able to watch most of the game. Most I've been able to see since the NDSU game. I liked our chances since Iowa did not have a running QB and did nothing tricky or special on offense. However, I am pumped at how well they played. The Chop Block on the first series, which I thought was a tough call, could have sent this team back into their shell. It did not and the O-line had their best game of the season. They were getting off the ball, pulling and opening up holes for the backs and Gray. Olson goes down and Bak steps in and after a couple 3 and outs they finish strong. The O-line was also aided by good play calling and good play by Gray, backs and receivers.
Special teams continue to play at a high level. They did not allow a kick return over 20 yards for the day and recovered an onsides kick. There were also no punt return yards for Iowa.
What a game for the defense. They had 3 sacks, forced fumble and got the big stop on 4 straight games to end the game. Even when Coker got loose there were 3-4 guys who ran him down and saving the chances for missed FG's by Iowa.
