Yes, and Iowa should be 8-0 in their last eight conference games but Iowa was robbed. Fortunately, that robbery is moot, too.
Just because the return man doesn't know the rule doesn't make it robbery.

Live by the punt, die by the punt.

Iowa's 3rd-best play is a punt.

Their 5th-best offensive play is the kneel down.

They have five plays?

btw, closing the book on Graham Mertz this season:
261 of 358
72.9% comp
2,903 yds
20 TD
3  INT
157.8 rating
.
And ended his season with the ancient Spartan phrase:  Come back with your shield...or on it.



He got past those 2 defenders and gained another 5-6 yards for a first down.  Didn't realize he broke his collar bone until handing the ball off on the next play.

Every Gators fan is glad he'll be back next year.  Thanks, Bastages, for the quality QB.

Kid got a raw deal in Madison. Three (incompetent) OC's and no real QB coach. I'm glad he got a fresh start because he's a good kid and a good teammate.

After the NFL game flipped to Mizzou / Ark... Wow what a bloodbath. Swapped to the smurf turf game. 

Guessing here shortly I'll watch Texas curb-stomp TTU (RIP Leach), and then when it's about 21-0 swap over to see the kickoff on the Civil War.

Don't pick at a wound. If Ferentz dies, he's owed a giant buyout.

Ugh. Trying to watch OSU-Bama but instead get the neverending saga of Utah State and New Mexico

UW didn’t give him good enough trining wheels. But I’m happy he found a place (I think a lot of UF fans are not)

Idk, maybe back in August.  But he's a plus player for us.

Does he still take too many sacks?  Yes.
Is he going to go out and throw for 400 yards and actively win you the game?  No.

But he was a turnover machine at UW and has been very efficient with the ball for us.  
The bottom line is that he hasn't been a negative.  A 150+ pass rating w/o a bunch of turnovers is a guy you can win with.
Just not with our defense.
