Iowa defense talks giving up big plays
One thing that Phil Parker preaches to his defense is not to give up explosive plays. It’s been his mantra forever and no Saturday, Iowa’s defense did something it rarely does, give up big plays in the passing game. There was the surprising 75 yard touchdown strike in the third quarter and even more significantly a big thirty yard gain on the Cyclones final drive.
We spoke with two of the leaders of the Iowa defense, Sebastian Castro and Jay Higgins, about those two high impact plays, the coverage that they were in and how they are disappointed because the Iowa defense likes to live in situations where the game rides on their performance.
