Beautiful. Visions of Chuck Long all through our heads. Wow!
That last 3rd down play call

PSU fell for it back to back…lol. Great call by TL…
We finally got a game sealing first down. I think last one was 2010 vs Missouri.
I don’t know if that’s right or not, but it wouldn’t surprise me
We nearly always go conservative in those situations
That was an extremely conservative (but creative) play call. Never had to leave the QB's hands.
Lester killed it in the 2nd half. That boot fooled every single person in the stadium, on the field, and watching it on TV.
Man they sell that read option so fricken hard. Was fooled on pretty much all of them on TV tonight. It’s beautiful.
next up, the pull and pop pass when Minnesota will try and overplay it.

That's probably the best way to sell it. Everyone looks 100% committed to the complete opposite direction of what they planned on doing.
Crazy, years ago Long and Hayden were the only two who knew what was coming against MSU. Was in the NE corner of the stands that day. Watching on the tube last night brought back that great memory immediately. Wow!

Hayden Fry ran it 40 years ago. Nice that Lester has finally figured it out. Maybe he should go watch some Iowa offense under Fry. Sounds like he could learn a helluva lot. It has been said there is nothing new under the sun. Someone might mention that to the masterminds Lester and Gronowski.
BTW: On Chuck Long's naked boot that beat Michigan State, nobody but Chuck and Hayden knew Long would run it, thus the "faking" worked so well, because the rest of the Hawkeyes, including the RB diving up the middle, thought it was a dive play. MSU, like PSU, still doesn't know the QB had the ball. LOL
