<p dir="ltr">Precisely, Dennis! I can't erase from my mind the cockeyed vision of said Hawkeye defender smacking the football to the high Heavens and Iowa then recovers it in the end zone. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I (ridiculously) conjure up a fantastic dream picture of our stalwart defenders jumping up and down in glorious victory as the ref signals Hawkeyes' ball and remaining seconds wind down. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I can envision the ensuing news media headline: "Hundreds of Hawkeye fans hurt storming the field but they don't care a damn bit".</p>
<p dir="ltr">A silly dream but, in perspective, in time I hope we accept wonderful truth we already have had a dream season --- with the incredible morale-boosting reality of the Rose bowl against an excellent opponent and the fun of watching Stanford's politically incorrect marching band perform it's irreverent antics.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Let's enjoy the good times accepting that all the frustrating "what if?" questions probably will forever haunt😑😕😯😣 the hidden recesses of every rabid Hawkeye minds!</p>
<p dir="ltr">Go Hawkeyes now and forever, come what may😂! And tell my stubborn "what if" mind to shut the FUG up!</p>
<p dir="ltr"> I could add to ridiculously zany final play analysis by noting a credible football ref told me there was a moment in the fatal play at the goal line when forward progress of the ball carrier definitely was stopped and a whistle should have ended an attempt at forward motion while--get this, a Stanford lineman without doubt was quite visibly holding off a sure tackler. Ah, the frustrating acumen of a good eye!</p>

<div dir="ltr">I am not trying to go all negative. The play count in the
second half was MSU 56 and Iowa 16. Iowa defense was on the field for almost the
entire second half and yet they still almost stopped MSU. They played great and
I don't think there is another defense in the country that could have done what
they did. Incredible heart.
<div> </div>
<div>Not looking to next year yet unless you mean Jan 1. I am really
excited about Stanford in the Rose bowl. I think the team will be also after a
couple of days to get over this loss.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Anyone see how #75 tackled Jewell as he was about to stop Smith on the TD
run at the two yard line. I thought it was just a great run by Smith but it was
really a blatant penalty by an MSU OL that allowed Smith to get away from Josey
and get in the end zone. (After Jewell was taken down Smith did do a great job
to get the TD)<br><br>

<p><span style="FONT-FAMILY:'Arial',sans-serif;COLOR:#1f497d">Let’s don’t get too
negative about the Iowa team or the game. There were plenty of negative
statements to make about MSU if you want to get picky. This game was a
toss-up from the start. The last first down on the 2 ½ yard line could
have gone a foot less and Iowa would have had the ball. The MSU
interception in the first quarter was a fluke. Etc. etc. etc. The
ball bounced MSU’s way once more than Iowa. </span></p>

<p><span style="FONT-FAMILY:'Arial',sans-serif;COLOR:#1f497d">This game showed that
Iowa is a really good team. Now is not the time to go negative.
Instead, I look to the positives and look forward to next year when our core
players will be back.</span></p>

<p><span style="FONT-FAMILY:'Calibri',sans-serif">MSU would
beat Iowa more times than not because their DL would manhandle the Iowa OL the
every game like they did in this game.</span></p>

<div>
<p><span style="FONT-FAMILY:'Calibri',sans-serif">Iowa's
defense got tired because they were on the field all game (almost 40
minutes). I thought the DL still did a pretty good job. The YAC were often
the result of poor tackling. I really got tired of watching the two safeties try
to tackle by throwing a shoulder into the runner looking for the big hit rather
than wrapping up and taking the runner/receiver down. The final TD for MSU
was a perfect example. The got penetration and could have easily tackled him for
a loss. But in the end none of the 5 or 6 guys could wrap up and make a
tackle.</span></p>
