Comeback Kids strike again!
Little late in posting the weekly recap, so to make it up to you all ... this week's post will be absolutely FREE!! So... here we go...
What can be said about Coach Kirk Ferentz? The man milks every ounce of potential out of every player on his team.
Saturday's game against Indiana was no different. The offense was stuck in its usual lethargic gear for 3 quarters, but when most coaches would've benched the starting QB in favor of a "spark off the bench" backup QB, Ferentz stuck with Just-Enough-Stanzi and lived to tell the tale!
"What was the Key Play?" you ask. Great question ... there were quite a few, but here are my top 3 (with a few extras thrown in for good measure):
#3 - The Touchdown Overturn
- I have to admit that at first (and second) glance, I thought this was a touchdown, but as I watched it in slo-mo on my DVR I started to pickup on the bobble. The receiver bobbles the ball as he comes to the ground. More importantly, the shadow under the receiver's leg proves he was not down in bounds.
#2 - Back to Back, Jack!
- Stanzi hits McNutt and DJK on back to back offensive plays for 92 and 66 yard TD Passes. The first pass confirmed we were in the game. The second pass confirmed that Indiana no longer was. (haven't found video of either of these plays ... except for the expanded highlight reel versions...)
#1 - Sash Plays a Trick and gets a Treat!
- I still wish there had been a reverse angle camera view available. First of all, Norm Parker never calls a blitz. Never! But he did here, and it ended up with one of the best athletes on the team ending up in the backfield. It's pretty amazing that the ball was on the 7, but the interception was only a 86 yard run. It's definitely one of those you've-got-to-see-it-to-believe-it kind of plays!
(video note: forgive the advertising at the end of the video... it's the best I could find.)
There are lots of good highlight reels out there. Feel free to post your favorite in the comments below.
