“Iowa had 91 yards of offense”
“Sounds about right”
“No, not for the game, on one drive”

Brian Ferentz conditioned us too well

It was all a years-long con to leave Michigan vulnerable during tonight's game

Was joking how they were going 4 yards at a time when they had 70 yards to go still and then all of a sudden they were in the red zone

There was less than two minutes on the clock and they were still trying to run your typical Iowa offense

No they were not. They were legitimately airing it out in the second half. They looked like a respectable run-heavy offense against a very difficult run D

Penalties helped, especially that shove after the play

My husband and I said "Stupid!" pretty much simultaneously when we saw that one

u/stealthygoddess19 Iowa Hawkeyes 21d ago

Seriously! CBS replay of the two minute drive was hilarious! It was mostly short routes or incomplete passes. And then all of a sudden they were in the red zone with two seconds left. Tf?!

We are like Samara from The Ring

Without a 91 yard run I’d say it’s was impossible

u/Vadered Wisconsin Badgers 20d ago

My most likely scenario for a 91 yard Iowa scoring drive is they punt from their own 9 and the returner muffs it.

u/Herky_T_Hawk Iowa Hawkeyes 21d ago

That happens all the time. Usually takes a whole half, sometimes more.

u/Healzya Iowa Hawkeyes 21d ago

It was more than our all of our first half yards I believe

I'm sure the band does it from time to time.

I imagine it's the first one back in IC in a very long time

u/SusannaG1 Clemson Tigers • Furman Paladins 20d ago

I think it's on the order of 20 years? I think also for a game with Ohio State.

u/miversen33 Iowa Hawkeyes • /r/CFB Bug Finder 20d ago

Wikipedia says 2006 (all 2 of our gamedays have been against OSU and we have lost them both)

So I guess, stay away Gameday lol

u/Mistertreefrog Iowa Hawkeyes • Big Ten 21d ago

I said there was no chance, somehow we had to get two field goals instead.

u/fart_dot_com Big Ten • Pac-12 Gone Dark 21d ago

especially because their offense was fucking ass up until that point

u/StoppedSundew3 Iowa Hawkeyes 21d ago

u/kebabdylan Notre Dame Fighting Irish 21d ago

u/Objective-History402 Ohio State Buckeyes 20d ago

Happens all the time actually! It's just usually their band that does it.
