View from the Cheap Seats: Dominated

I didn’t want to write this column. I’ve been dreading it since the moment Cade stepped up into a collapsing pocket and was strip sacked by Jack Sawyer. The tipped pass interception to end their best drive of the day turned the dread up a couple of notches. When he fumbled on the first play of the 4th quarter, marking Iowa’s third straight possession to end with a turnover the dread-o-meter maxed out at 11. That was it, I couldn’t take anymore, all the energy drained from my body and I become a lump sitting on my couch, dreading the act of writing 1500+ words about another blowout at the hands of an elite Power 5 opponent.
