Running on 3rd and 4 near midfield down 7 in the 4th quarter and punting on 4th down is not what playoff teams do.

Iowa starts with the ball inside Minnesota’s 50

And I still have no faith that we can score

Actually time to put Heck back in. He's had time on the bench to think it over. Bring him back in. At least we were throwing downfield. Brown looks like he's having an anxiety attack.

You know what might work? A play action pass on 2nd down when they are ready for our run.

commentators “they got a break”. These dipshits are the only thing worse than the product on the field
