beforehand and really witness it in the moment, both from fans on social media, even from

1:05.7

the commentator, one of the commentators on the game last night. He was just convinced

1:08.9

that Michigan is just, I was going to get them. Iowa's got something for them. Look at how they can't get into their offense.

2:27.3

and a half almost going on two years now kind of reared the ugly heads

2:30.2

as far as the turnovers go.

2:33.1

I think you got to give Iowa some credit for the Iowa.

2:35.9

That's probably one of the better defensive games I've seen Iowa play all year, right?
