I hate to say it, but when they were finally left of the leash on Saturday, the Hawkeye offense "clicked" just fine. 80 yds in 3 plays.
The med-to-deep passing game was there ALL day - go back and watch the replay. Indiana sold out on the run all game long. Key in on their linebackers - they were taking 2 or 3 quick steps towards the LOS right at the snap all day long (except in obvious passing situations). I think we went with a conservative "don't make any mistakes" road philosophy, and it darn near cost us.
No way their CBs could cover DJK/McNutt 1 on 1. Could have won by 2 or 3 TDs easily, IMO.
