[QUOTE="HensonHall71, post: 1966502, member: 748389"] I felt like we outplayed them for the vast majority of the game but couldn’t capitalize on our opportunities The sequence when we had the ball up 4 with 7 min left and Casey dropped the ball right in his hands on second down which would have given us a new set of downs and chance to put the game away- leading to an awful 35 yard line drive punt with a good return for them, gave them the momentum they needed when they had none The only real criticism I can give the staff is on the 4 and 2 on the last possession we had- really silly decision to punt the ball- it cost a timeout to regroup and then obviously go for it. But that is an automatic go for it- using the timeout meant when we didn’t make it - one first down by Iowa meant ball game vs giving us another chance. It does seem Bielema really struggles with game strategy in this situations - he needs an assistant who’s sole job is to tell him what to do in those situations [/QUOTE]
