Real strong and definitive take here. Way to be brave!!!!I feel like this is a potential trap game for Iowa. We should win handily, but could shit the bed.
We should win this one. We seem to be getting better. I hope I am right on both.
Went to the Illinois Purdue game last week. Won by Illinois in overtime when Purdue went for two and failed. So the coach lost the game after all that effort and a great comeback. They could have kicked the extra point and played another series. As an AD I would not forget that gaff.
What you say may be true but try to sell it if someone who controls your job agrees with me.That's a good strategy if you think you are the better team, and if you are not worn out and if you are playing at home. But if you are the underdog, who has nothing left in the gas tank after an amazing comeback, and playing on the road, then that's different.
You might as well take your 50/50 chance to win the game right now. You probably have less than a 50/50 chance anyway if you extend the game. What's the point in risking the health of your players any further?
