The safety that was maybe a punt from the 1 yard line

Looking back at that play early in the game it might have been better if the ball bounced out and was downed at the 1 yard line. A short punt there would have been our best starting field position and maybe a FG or td. the oddities of football as the kickoff after the safety could have went out of bounds but was booted out of bounds by the hawks

The resulting punt by Illinois that flew low and bounced to the 20 so Wetjen had no chance of return may end up being Illinois’s play of the game.

I think they actually make that kick off the teefrom the 20 yard line, if it goes out of bounds I think by rule the ball would be Iowas at about mid-field. huge difference as you said
 
And Iowa wins by ... 2. :)
