3 minutes left. A field goal would put them ahead of Michigan. They were driving down the field fine with their running game and then they decide to throw a streak. And of course it is intercepted. Wow.
 
Terrible playcall. They were running at 7-8 yards a clip and they decide to air it out.

That's the classic example of the OC trying to be too cute.

Pretty impactful facemask call at the end there. Not saying they shouldn't have called it but I bet it was light enough that it would be let go some of the time.
I think stating from fg range put in that added psychological edge for Iowa too compared to starting around the 50.
 
Michigan also benefited from a Roughing the Center penalty. if not for that call, Michigan punts and doesn't get the field position to kick a field goal to go up by 2 points. I can't remember ever seeing a Roughing the Center call.

Imagine this: one of the most experienced staffs in all of college football (if not the most?) STILL makes bad/head-shaking play calls! Wow! Shocker!
