The weather in Nebraska this Thanksgiving weekend was pretty lousy: cold, windy and icy. Many people changed their plans for the weekend out of prudence, deferring to the conditions. Others proceeded cautiously, taking things slowly and carefully while driving, for fear of skidding into the ditch.
Kirk Ferentz recognized the situation; his Iowa Hawkeyes only threw the ball 16 times on Black Friday.
Mike Riley and Danny Langsdorf had a different thought. They asked Tommy Armstrong to throw the ball 45 times. Damn the conditions; full speed ahead!
YOLO.
It had it's moments; Armstrong threw for 296 yards.
