Saturday’s dual was anything but typical, even though we had the typical results that ended in a Hawkeye beat down and a large margin of victory. But what was atypical was the five, yes FIVE backups that were called upon to get the job done. I’ve been a stalwart Hawk fan my whole life, but I don’t recall a time when we sat out so many starters, let alone sitting them and coming away with a win. Perhaps some of the older fans can shed some light if this has happened before?
Despite the win, social media exploded over the weekend with a large portion of fans being upset about the lack of star power.
