As I wrote last week, I made a return to Kinnick Stadium for the first time since 2002. That’s not a typo. I attended with my nephew and brother; both are football coaches who know the game at a much higher level than myself. Case in point. With the Hawks down late with the ball at about our 30-yard line, my nephew commented, “The Hawks probably won’t drive the distance here, but we will pick up about 20 yards, punt, flip the field, get a stop, and get a short field for the win.” It played out exactly like that.
