Overall very impressed with this team. Could easily have a better record, but if you trade a couple of what ifs for shoulda beens, it's about evened out.
The almost-catch by Ford on 4th down was a super human feat just to get the ball and control it, which Ford did. It was them forcefully removed from his possession by the Iowa player. Great play by the defender. If Peters throws it more accurately, that ball is caught and the defender has no chance to punch it out. At least they had the gall to go for it.
The worst play call was the 3rd and 1 roll out and subsequent incompletion then punt. I don't mind that call if you plan on going for it on fourth down, but you just needed a yard to get a drive going.
If we beat NW, we are probably a coin flip for a bowl, which is really what we wanted, right? The biggest improvement I've seen is the overall competitiveness of the team and the defense. We've been in pretty much every game except two. Keep Walters at whatever cost.
