Iowa football: Nate Stanley better in redzone than we give credit

When most people think back to the 2018 Iowa football season, there are a few plays that stick out in people’s minds of turning points that changed the direction of the season. Unfortunately, these aren’t good plays.

Heading into 2018, there was cautious optimism that the Iowa football team could have one of their great runs that they put together ever 3-4 years. A couple of bounces and bad players here and there though could quite possibly have made a 12-0 or 11-1 team an 8-4 team.

I’m talking about the punt team fumble against Wisconsin, the drive-killing interception against Northwestern, and the red zone interception against Penn State in Happy Valley.
