FOUR FACTOR FRIDAY: IOWA VS PITT

Night game. Stripes. Robert Gallery. Brett Greenwood. Go. Iowa. Awesome.

Explosive Plays

Though Iowa dominated in the trenches it was ultimately big plays that tipped the game last weekend in its favor. A 48-yard bomb on 3rd-and-crazy long. A 44-yard dash after narrowly avoiding a sack. A 34-yard punt return setting up the game winning score. And on and on. It’s something that Greg Davis likes to talk about and it was apparent against Iowa State that C.J. Beathard is capable of making those types of plays.

And Pitt has been somewhat susceptible to big plays.
