getting tired

The kick to the head happened on a critical 3rd down play, that could have easily have resulted in points. He he would have been ejected as he should have been that might have had a negative impact on their D the rest of the game. Their corners could have been called for holding or interference on just about every play, potential points there. They had several late hits that were not called, more drives could have been kept alive. Or if their D had been made to play clean more of Iowa's offense wound have worked. On offense they held LTP on just about every play he was destroying the guy he was going against. If those had been called there would have been a lot more hurries and less pass completions. There is the potential for a 14 point swing.

I'm sure back in the early 2000's many fans of Iowa's opponents felt the same way about Iowa. Those Iowa teams were damn physical and beat people up.
Face it, Iowa was over-matched physically by MSU and they knew it and took advantage of it. Their strengths were greater than Iowa's strengths and their weaknesses were lesser than Iowa's weaknesses. Translates to a fairly dominant win on their part. Gonna have to deal with it as I saw NW and OSU as very physical and fast teams. Goodnight Iowa!

So, because we couldn't match MSU's physical approach to game, you want the refs to intercede for our benefit? If the shoe had been on the other foot, we would have been basking in the glow of being the bullies of the Big Ten. You can't have it both ways.
