The play that turned the game was the botched hurry up sneak. Iowa is up 7 and driving/wearing out NIU. It's 3rd and 1 and of course Iowa's has to run the freaking hurry up sneak - that's Iowa's gimmick. Not fake punt, not a reverse, but the hurry up sneak even though it could have gotten a yard any time it wanted. For those not at the game you may not have been able to tell, but Iowa had 5 guys running to their spots when Rudduock snapped the ball. It was illegal motion on 5 different players. Such a stupid, stupid penalty - how did Ruddock not know to look to make sure his team was set before snapping it? The penalty results in 3rd and 6 and a slant pattern off of Shumpert's head.
I wish they would take that play and throw it out the window. Iowa marches in to go up 14 but for that stupid play.
it's also unfathomable to me that Powell onky played four plays. He's only been able to learn a go route after a month of practice?
