If it's so obvious there were numerous coverage sacks then why hasn't anyone been able to pull one up? I'm not taking sides in this "troll or no troll match", but I don't recall any myself. Not saying there weren't any, but I wouldn't say coverage sacks are a common occurance for Iowa defenses.
Also I've always felt we run more zone defense than M2M so it would be harder to get a coverage sack in a zone scheme.

It is easier to get coverage sacks in a zone scheme because more men are usually committed to coverage, and fewer men to rushing the passer. Thus, it takes longer to get to the QB, but the QB has fewer options to throw it to. I don't know why you would think coverage sacks are more likely in man to man.
The last play of the Iowa-Northwestern game would probably qualify as a coverage sack. The nature of the coverage-sack does not really make it a memorable play, like a blitz during a big moment, or an interception. It is hard to recall specific instances, but because of the defense Iowa plays, there are usually many instances where the QB can't find anywhere to go with the ball and eventually goes down (or scrambles for 11 yards on 4th and 10, damn you Terrell Pryor).
