Sure it would have been nice to score quicker. It would have given our defense a bigger margin of error, not having to get a 3 & out. It would have allowed our plodding offense to not be rushed to run a 2 minute offense.It was all really bad today offensively. That TD drive with the clock management and tempo was one of the worst I’ve seen. Just an opinion but that was what I thought to be the worst I’ve seen in a long long…..long long time. Christ
But our time consuming scoring drive was a MUCH better result than not scoring on that drive. It's not like our offense over powered Iowa's defense on that TD drive (or the whole game). Higgins made a TOUGH one handed grab on 4th down with Brecht in distress.
