It happened. In a game where people, myself included, gave Iowa football no chance, the Hawkeyes upset the third-ranked Michigan Wolverines.
A week after losing to Penn State 41-14 in primetime, beating the Wolverines didn’t seem like a legitimate possibility. Many just hoped that Iowa wouldn’t embarrass themselves on national TV and put up a fight against Michigan unlike mostly every other team who has played them this year.
After Iowa held them to a mere three points in the first quarter, I still didn’t believe Iowa could win the game. For one, the offense moved the ball and picked up a couple of first downs but always stalled before getting into the end zone or field goal range.
