Iowa defense slows down No. 2 Michigan, but stagnant offense costly for No. 18 Hawkeyes

Associated Press  

18 Iowa won the Big Ten West by mucking things up for everyone else. “Tonight is a low point,” coach Kirk Ferentz said following the second shutout in the Big Ten’s 13-game history. Iowa sacked Big Ten quarterback of the year J.J. McCarthy four times, and limited the conference’s running back of the year, Blake Corum, to 52 yards on 16 carries. On that next play you try to get that pick and keep on playing and I thought we did a good job of that today.” Instead, Iowa’s stagnant offense — only Arizona State and Michigan State among Power Five schools are worse — somehow watched its per-game average of 18.0 points slide even further. Afterward, Kirk Ferentz again criticized the replay system; during the season, he said the Hawkeyes had been “screwed” after a video review wiped out a punt-return touchdown after concluding one of his players had made an invalid fair-catch signal late in a 12-10 loss to Minnesota, “The whole concept, as I recall, was taking, obviously — I don’t want to say a blown call, but a wrong call,” Ferentz said while describing the replay system.
