I was sort of taken back to the Alford era when you could set your watch by how his teams would just shut down with 5-10 minutes to go and lose game after game.
Not that I think Ferentz really has anything in common with scumbag Alford, but I was just thinking about the sense of predictable dread that unfolded late in so many games.
As Iowa was going 3 and out, it was completely obvious what was about to happen.
