Yes we remember @ Wisconsin or @ Syracuse, but it seems like FOREVER since we've got the big stop in a big game where a team had the game winning drive. I am hopeful with how Iowa played and in 2015 was proud of how they played vs MSU, but at the end of the day we have to find a way to be on the other end of one of these games.
 
I'd rather not have to make that last stop or score on that last play myself. I know that's not your point, I'd just rather make the plays earlier.
 
Arizona was the game that bothered me the most for some reason. Probably because it ended our undefeated season & took us out of the top 10.

Arizona sucked because of the missed XP. Just when you thought Iowa did the unthinkable and came back to get the lead, we miss the XP and it's a tie game.
 
Iowa got the big final stop it needed to hold ISU to a FG to beat them 44-41 in OT two weeks ago.

Iowa got the huge final stop it needed to get the ball to beat Michigan in 2016.

Iowa got the final stop(s) it needed to beat Minnesota 14-7 in 2016.

Iowa got the final stop it needed to beat Rutgers 14-7 in 2016.

Iowa got the final stop it needed to win at Nebraska 28-20 in 2015 to finish the regular season 12-0.

Iowa got innumerous stops to beat Wisconsin 10-6 at their house in 2015.

Seems like it is all a matter of perspective.

Don't cloud things with facts icHawk. Losing stinks, but not sure how folks could have much issue with the effort or the plan of the defense in the game Saturday. Team put it all out there. Sometimes you just aren't good enough, and/or the breaks don't go your way. That's sports.

Give me a minute. There's a thread coming on this...........
 
We messed with the formula and it cost us ;) All close Hawkeye wins over highly ranked teams a team Kinnick end with an Iowa FG, period.

Butler dropped a pass that hit him in the numbers in ot, but technically it goes as a stop.
 
Never paid a mind to it because I thought I was banned again after the game. I guess if Butler catches the ball and the Clones finish, I wouldn't see your drivel.
You're a good loser as a fan & in life. I'll give you that. I guess if you live in Texas long enough that could happen to anybody.
 
Two fourth downs on the final drive and on each, our corners got beat to the inside!!! Never allow the receivers to get the inside route with the game on the line, push it outside, it's a much tougher completion.
