The postgame show focused on how MN “lost” the game, not how Iowa won. The talking heads continued this narrative until Urban spoke up and said that Iowa was the better team. I hated Urban for so many years, but I really like him on TV. He cuts through the bullshit and obviously has a lot of respect for Iowa.
I agree with you regarding Urban, and I’m not saying any of the other guys on that set look at these numbers but shit like this is why people say stupid shit...
I mean yeah, Minnesota racked up a bunch of yards. But Kirk even said on the radio after the game that they knew they would give up chunk plays because Minnesota has good players, they just needed to eliminate the big plays, stop the run, hold them to field goals and force them to use clock which Iowa did.
The coaches coach to time and score. Not to what their YPP is.
