What happened?

In any case, Hawkeyes now up 21-3 wait, 28-3, wait 21-3.  The ESPN site momentarily said 28-3.  I'm not sure if they added the TD twice by mistake or what. 
Punter was running with the ball, almost looked like a fake punt, but it was 4th and REALLY long. Announcers theorized he was just stalling time before kicking to make sure the coverage would keep the returner from being able to have a shot at a good return. 

Well, he ended up running across the line of scrimmage before he kicked it. Which makes it illegal kick. 5 yard penalty from the previous spot and loss of down... 

So 4th down at the Vandy 15 and a punt to about midfield turned into Iowa ball, 1st and goal at the 10, with 40 seconds left in the half. Which they converted for a TD. 

I've never seen a punter kick the ball beyond the LOS... 

BTW Iowa was up 21-3, and Vandy just hit a deep ball to make it 21-10. Maybe they miscredited the TD...

Yeah, ESPN just double counted the Iowa TD.  I literally walked into the other room for 2 minutes, and thought I missed 2 scores

Are you guys more focused on the Michigan game or the Nebraska game? Whichever one's better?

OK, so I just got home. Gonna do some cooking, and I will break down and turn on ESecPN/ABC and keep an eye on Iowa, Michigan and UNL. Probably not OSU because we're going to a NYE party at the local haunt.

For me, probably Michigan. For whatever reason, I just seem to have more interest in UM and UT than I ever had in Nebraska, which is light years ahead of any interest I've ever had it Utah. I think part of it is "helmet", but also that I have the respect for them as major academic universities and strong engineering schools--peers of my own, whereas Nebraska is not in the same class and Utah I don't think of their academics at all. 

And there's the interest of whether they can be competitive with an interim coach, balanced against the potential schadenfreude if they faceplant. 

That said, if the score of either game goes lopsided while the other score is competitive, I'll watch the closer contest.

Michigan-Texas, by far.  Unless it gets ugly

Michigan is getting the big TV. UNL gets regulated.

Oops, thank you for clearing that up.  Like I said, the ap on my phone said it was punted but then said "illegal grounding" which made no sense as he can't have both punted and thrown the ball.

I basically did the same thing.  I refreshed and it was 28-3 and I couldn't figure out how Iowa managed to score on their own kick with no time elapsed.

Even after doing it for the last couple of years it still feels weird not rooting for a big ten team during bowl season. Hooked horns

As long as this game lives up to the last time Michigan and Texas played in a bowl, we should be good
