Hawkeye Report Podcast
It’s a later than we wanted post game edition of the podcast. Guess we could call it the morning after, but plenty to discuss on this shorter than normal podcast.
We start with the actual game before getting into the other drama surrounding the game between Iowa and Nebraska. First the game. How did a team that had 5 total first downs and was 0-10 on third down actually win a football game? We look back at how Iowa was able to capitalize on two special teams errors to keep three points off the board and put three on it. Then we discuss Kaleb Johnson doing his thing on a run after catch where he might have broken six tackles on his way to the end zone. Finally, once again, Iowa made a play late and created a turnover before Drew Stevens completes his redemption story kicking a game winner from 53 yards out.
After the actual game discussion we get into the drama surrounding no handshakes at the coin toss and why Matt Rhule was walking through Iowa’s warm up before the game. What was Nebraska apparently offended that they took this action leading up to the game and how Iowa, specifically Jay Higgins, reacted to it. Why this is the reason Iowa has won 9 of the last 10 in this series all wrapped up into one.
