No recap since I missed last week. No summary of matchups since I largely used it to keep track to limit duplication.
It’s Big Ten Championship Week so let’s dive right in.
Michigan/Iowa harkens the two most recent iterations of the game: low scoring affairs where defense takes precedence and an ability to maneuver around the opponent’s immoveable object takes priority. The winner won by scoring 14 & 10 points. Not exactly something one would hang in the Louvre of Modern Football.
Perhaps it is hubris in Phil Parker’s ability and the defense to execute Parker’s plan but the stats show Iowa was able to contain pretty good Michigan offenses.
