So what about this season so far told KF that Iowa doesn't win things in the 4th quarter? Why is it that with :59 on the clock, one timeout in his pocket, and decent field position he decided to just sit on the ball? My understanding of "old school" football philosophy is that on the road you go for the win and at home you go for the tie. Maybe it was just a "who can be more ridiculously conservative" mexican stand off? IMHO Iowa had nothing but a game to win in regulation and nothing but a game to lose going into OT.

Okay, so nothing about the way OSU's defense had played prepared the Iowa staff for the clinic they put on in the 4 downs in OT. They hadn't gotten a lot of pressure on the passer the entire game, sure the running game was stymied but that had been going on all game. With the game on the line KOK pulled out the most anemic plays he could and said to his guys "we're going to 3OT with this offensive scheme because 3rd time is a charm and I want to win!"

Of course Iowa's D did really well in OT doing everything they could to keep OSU as far back as possible. Nobody thought we could block field goals with the game on the line in two different games. As we all know Iowa didn't. I guess I'm just upset that with everything that has happened this year the Iowa coaching staff refused to recognize that the last minute of regulation had a game on the tree ripe for picking. Yes we left points out on the field with dropped passes and a missed FG but it was still and TIE GAME with plenty of time to win. Conservatism be damned! I just wanted to watch Ol' Sweatervest cry! Great game, GO HAWKS!
