The Michigan Wolverines had shown few weaknesses throughout the 2016 season, but they all became problems in a stunning 14-13 loss Saturday night against the Iowa Hawkeyes.
For the first time all year, Jim Harbaugh's team lost multiple phases of the game. And it cost the Maize and Blue dearly.
Michigan—which entered the game as a 24-point favorite, according to Odds Shark—seemed to take control of the contest, as anticipated. The Wolverines jumped out to a 10-point lead thanks to respectable offense and dominant defense.
Iowa had even failed to capitalize on a drive extended by consecutive running-into-the-kicker penalties.
