GTech had only 2 timeouts, so Iowa was going to just run it, make GTech burn all of its timeout and and worst punt the Jackets deep in their own territory with about a minute on the clock. GTech stacked the box with all 11 guys, we blocked it well and they had 1 guy take a wrong angle to the ball and it was a TD.
As has been the case since 2002, O'Keefe does a great job in bowl prep giving the Iowa offense a chance to succeed. And then losing DJK in the first half and having Stross barely available still finding a way to pass for 230 yards and run for 175 more. Obviously Parker and his defense got the headlines, but the coaches on both sides of the ball had great plans last night.
