Spencer Petras' Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day began by throwing a perfect spiral directly into the hands of Tanner McCalister. The only problem? McCalister does not play for Petras' team, the Iowa Hawkeyes.
For anyone who follows the sport of college football outside of just Ohio State and the handful of other programs that compete for spots in the College Football Playoff, the performance of Petras and his colleagues that make up the Iowa offense lived up to expectations last Saturday in Ohio Stadium. This is, after all, a team that won its opening game against South Dakota State 7-3 by scoring a field goal and two safeties rather than finding the end zone.
