This was the chance.
This was the opportunity.
This was the moment.
And Iowa didn’t seize it. The players didn’t take it. The coaches didn’t take it. Wisconsin, however, did. They walked into Kinnick Stadium for a night game and walked out 28-17 victors. They did not dominate Iowa. They did not need to.
Iowa dominated Iowa. Mistakes, miscues, bad play calls, bad passes, bad field position, missed tackles, blown assignments, turnovers... those dominated the Hawkeyes.
And it sucks. This was the opportunity to take what will likely equate to a two-game lead in the Big Ten West.
