I'll just disagree... if you think their holdings 'offset' ours, I really don't know what else to say.
I’m just saying that their missed holding wasn’t really egregious. The missed DPIs yes, the holdings are whatever.

Putting the ball directly in their hands was a much bigger issue to me than uncalled holding.

All good - I am more just pissed off with how we finished...that's definitely not worthy of a playoff slot...

Yaaaaaa you could tell Kirk just wanted to run the clock and go home. If Diaz doesn’t fumble then we don’t have to dink around with a targeting, or a TD, or an onside/review. At worst we punt it.

His turtling can be effective to close out a game but definitely doesn’t make for a fun time.

What. Flea flicker and dropped it. End around to most exciting player ... and fumbled. Underthrown pass to an open receiver for an INT.

Just execution.
You described 3 plays in 3 quarters. Well done fellas. Im not knocking what Iowa did, they were comfortable the D would hold and they did. If you really think Iowa was aggressive like they were in the first Q, then I dont know what to tell ya.
