Are you kidding me?
A 17-point comeback against the #18 D in Div 1???
Wowza!
And. it comes in a Can You Top This game-within-a-game of turnovers! All 5 combined TOs generated by the respective QBs, thru the air And on the ground............did anyone catch the number of that greased pig?
Rather than elaborate on the miscues, I'd rather harp on the turnaround of the season:
It's the O-line, Stupid!
Our much maligned O-line has hugely elevated their pass protection play of late and, somebody clutch me, but they're now adding adroit run blocking to their resumes. Who the hell runs for 146 yds against the elite Hawkeyes D? It's like we were running in sand in the 1st half dozen games and now we're flying out of the center snap.
And, WAIT!, a 57-yd FG from Sophomore Bhaghni? Like found money that could pay expanded dividends for the rest of the season.
Schwesinger and Oladejp are once again anchoring a solid D effort which has befuddled a meh IO O. Of course things can change, as Ferentz has earned his rep as a skilled coach in making halftime adjustments, but this UCLA team has got B-O-W-L in their minds ~~~ and who whudda thunk that.
In that regard, IO gets the 2H kick.
GO BRUINS!
