No and never will believe OC is as long as Ferentz is his boss

So you hold a good opponent to 10 points on the road and Iowa's only points come via special teams. Classic Iowa.

Feels like deja vu.

He can run so he won’t be stuck in the pocket. Might be a move that gets this offense going.

Good news is we’re still in it.

Bad news is we need a lot of adjustments and one of those is our lines getting way bigger and stronger in the next 15 Minutes

No, more like Michigan backs got Tony covered. 2 of them are talking smack to Tony on that last broken up pass.

This is not UNI type talent.
