Sebastian Castro celebrates birthday with a victory

Sebastian Castro figured out a heck of a way to celebrate his 23rd birthday on Saturday. All he did was almost completely dismantle the Wisconsin offense on his own with two tackles for loss, an interception, and several other huge plays in Iowa’s 15-6 victory at Camp Randall Stadium on Saturday.

Castro talks about his interception and taking a knee instead of trying to return it for a score. He also weighs in on his blitz with Wisconsin pinned near their goal line that resulted in a safety for the Hawkeyes.
