The Victors: 1st Quarter, 5:55 Remaining
Iowa 10-7 Michigan

On our first offensive play from scrimmage, I saw Forcier give up on the run and go into his dive way too early. On the whole, encouraging him to be far less reckless with his body is a good thing, but in this case he badly misjudged the time remaining before contact with the stout Iowa defense and the distance he needed to get the first down. I had a premonition of doom and thought ruefully, "He was so close, he easily could have gotten the first down. Oh, I hope this doesn't come back to bite us." On second down, we committed an offensive holding penalty. On third down, Forcier threw a monstrous interception, setting up the tenacious Hawkeyes for the go-ahead score. Lousy premonition of doom. Lousier still, the ensuing doom.

Go Blue!
