[Herky] Final Michigan 10 Iowa 3

[Rick Neufeld]

We made too many mistakes. Some were caused but some weren't  4 turnovers, 8 sacks given up and when did you see a game where Iowa committed that many penalties.  Ferentz has said it many times, when the other team has more 4-5 stars you have to play a near perfect game and we didn't !

 

They will Rally and beat PS.

Stephen, Stephen, Stephen….

 

It’s not that bad.  Michigan played great defense.  Iowa did not play good offense.  Iowa played great defense. Allowing one long pass play was their only goof.  Not bad for a team with a very worthy opponent.  No one thought Iowa would go undefeated, although I’m sure we all hoped and dreamed for that.

 

My big complaint was the announcers, even the talking heads back in the studio.  They all talked from the perspective of a Michigan fan.  Not objective with both viewpoints at all.

 

Gus Johnson is a hack. When Iowa was to make its first punt, Johnson said “now Iowa will have to punt again”.  He said our true freshman is a red shirt freshman.  And my biggest pet peeve is that he pronounces Rutgers as “Ruggers”.  C’mon man!!!

 

Disappointed, but not discouraged and not overtly critical.

Ugly, Ugly, Ugly!

 

4 turnovers, 7-8 sacks and 8 penalties (none on defense if my memory is correct) is NOT a recipe for victory.  Stanley had a horrific day with the sacks and his first 3 interceptions of the season.

 

Iowa had net rushing of 1 yard when Stanley's 65 sack yards are counted.  The running backs averaged 3.0 yards/carry.  

 

The offensive line and backs were no match for Michigan's stunting defense and blitzes.  

 

Not an offensive show:  Michigan had 267 yards of total offense and the Hawkeyes had 261. Iowa had 7 punts and Michigan had 8.

 

Contender:  Michigan

 

Pretender:  Iowa

 

Before the season started I would have been satisfied with a split of the Michigan and Penn State duo.  So now the Hawks have to win at home next week.  Iowa could still get to double digit wins but 

 

Penn State scored td's the first 4 times they had the ball against the Boilers today and then got sloppy/conservative the rest of the way.  Purdue's injury woes continued as they lost a couple more front-line players today.

 

If Michigan hadn't parlayed the 51 yard pass early in the game which led to the game's only td, the game could have been a 3-3 snoozer.  

 

I think the Hawks only had 1 delay of game penalty but it seemed that the Hawks constantly hiked the ball with only 0-2 seconds left on the play clock.  Really made me nervous.

 

A very unsatisfying game in which Iowa's 'strengths' - offensive line play and running the football were fools' gold.  The defense played well and special teams had several nice punt returns but with little contribution from the offense, it was a poor loss.

4 tournovers, Stanley sacked 8 times, 8 penalities: Iowa can't win a game like that!
