all right Michigan and Ohio State they are inside 90 seconds to play now is going to Michigan's bid for a perfect fit ten record 3721 the Buckeyes gonna wash away some of the bad taste from their sixth and fourth season coming in by getting their seventh win of the year 37 to 21 working out a way toward Iowa and Wisconsin after this Wisconsin will be able to get into the Rose Bowl if they can beat Iowa guys got about five seconds we look for the story is Drew Tate ten touchdowns only four interceptions can he get it done the Wisconsin defense kind of raster's James and those guys get it done after last game and we'll keep you up to date or an Alabama Auburn as well but now Wisconsin and Iowa all right reach the atmosphere here in Iowa city of canoe Stadium is absolutely electric here's why it basically boils down to a Big Ten championship game these are the current standings but Ohio State is poised to win which means at Wisconsin if they win they go to the Rose Bowl if Iowa wins today against Wisconsin they would earn a share of the Big Ten title it has been a compelling season in the conference well it's not exactly ESPN HD but every fan tailgating here in Iowa City keeping close eye on the Ohio State Michigan game and it looks like they're going to get their result a Buckeye win with just seconds to go it is senior day which means that Matt Roth one of 15 seniors is ready to pump up the volume and ready to hear it from the hometown fans they have won 17 straight games here and Kinnick Stadium it has been a torture chamber for visiting teams number nine Wisconsin against number nine at number 17 Iowa big things on the line for both teams hello everybody I'm Marc Jones along with Bob Davie thanks for coming aboard the importance magnitude of this game growing by the second Bob last week Wisconsin faced a very good rushing attack in Michigan State this week against Iowa a different type of jam will mark Wisconsin's defensive game plan is obvious put a target on Iowa's quarterback Drew Tate and find a way to harass him all afternoon because Iowa cannot run the football that sounds pretty simple but the problem drew Tate is the hottest quarterback into big ten right now this guy is amazing at avoiding the rush and making plays down the field mark I'm gonna give you a strong statement right off the bat this guy reminds me of a young Doug Flutie whoo looking for maybe a Hail Mary today from Tate who knows big things on the line in just a few moments on senior day who's going to take the big ten we'll find out Mike Allen is 10 of 17 on season but he is missed four of his last six this one will be coming from 47 yards away and keep in mind Iowa blocked two field goals two weeks ago against Purdue another miscue and it's incomplete the hawkeye's come up with a big play of their own we won a playoff in college football that proves that every game matters and how about the electricity mess amping up the meter a little bit there it's electric even more so now that rock with this eight sack of the season and this is a mentally tough Iowa football team as we look at norm Parker this football team and particularly norm Parker have been through so much they showed their mental toughness to turnovers bouncing back while they had a fumble snap on the last field goal attempt this is Mike Allen from 51 yards out they get it down this time with the wind at his back he pushes it to the right the Badgers over to in special teams right now and that one had a chance an inauspicious beginning for Barry Alvarez in his quest for the Big Ten title we'll be back Scott's has been on a roller coaster their motto has been find away through tape looking for a way complete down to the 12 yard line once again it's Scott Chandler for the first down on a pickup of seventeen route 8 rolling out touchdown Hawkeye Sullivan a crucial third down and two Booker Stanley his understudy touchdown badgers excellent pass rusher in the game to replace him third down and short Tate in trouble looking downfield Sullivan touchdown and who can't be an Iowa fan if you watch the work of this man Kirk Ferentz the head coach now in his sixth year started off one in ten his first year then three and nine then to seven and five they got over the hump a little bit then 11 and two in 2002 they go to the Orange Bowl and then ten and three a season ago Bob he told us last season at 10 and 3 that he thought they over achieved so what do you call this year when they goes what five tailbacks deep all the injuries on the offensive line it's no wonder that his name constantly pops up when NFL openings come up mark I'll tell you what if you have to cast a vote for coach of the year right now in college football I don't know that that's possible they think they talk about Auburn or Oklahoma controversy how about who's the coach of the year including this guy right here Barry Alvarez right Barry Alvarez and Kirk Ferentz the respective head coaches who not that long ago Bob we're on the same staff here at Iowa working for head coach Hayden Fry there's a look at ooh how far back are we going 86 I'll tell you what that is a heck of a coaching staff right here I think Hayden Fry wants something like 12 or 13 straight against with Wisconsin at one point while he was here there's bill Schneider up in the top row in the back left a pretty good staff as you mentioned also Dan McCarney right here the head coach at Iowa State a couple of the top coaches in the country right there Barry Alvarez on the left and Kirk Ferentz on the right and let's go downstairs to Holly coach what did you and your players know about the Ohio State with Michigan results before the game oh absolutely nothing I only amess were paying attention well you know they announced it's kind of hard to ignore that but it's really it has no bearing on this game we're trying to win a football game change the thing we where our whole objective today was win our ninth game seventh game in the conference that's all we're worried about right now we got our hands full I think we're looking forward to it though happy to embrace the challenge find a way that has been their motto and credo all year long 14-7 at the break now let's join recent Tallahassee briefs their teeth yard pickup inside handoff hooker Stanley stopped up immediately by Matt Roth see if Wisconsin's good enough to beat taco picked off at the 42-yard line Javon Johnson and a late flag we're gonna have a personal foul against somebody Jevon Johnson with his third pick of the season and once again an asterisk because dead ball personal foul number 98 of the defense headbow personal foul number 53 of the offense penalties will automatically have sent resolve the plain Iowa first out over the middle and picked off Considine they're down in gold touchdown Chandler but you're seeing the next great quarterback drew first and ten stock Oh looking to make a place taco brought down to the 26 and he bubbled it eyeball Tylar leudtke recovers this one coming from 31 yards out and he drills at home increasing the Iowa lead to 17 ports can they hang on for a share of the Big Ten title with Michigan the Hawkeye nation of proving right now Kirk Ferentz saying that a turnaround point pivotal point in the season for them was after that Arizona drilling that they took down in the desert in Scottsdale he told the team afterwards in the locker room hey we have to start practicing much better we have to start playing much better we have to start acting like a team and they took his lead and then during their bye week another turning point for that he said that he challenged the defense to start creating more turnovers they responded in kind jealously fourth and one and though Bernstein at the game the game at fullback mark Stanly they didn't get it the defense comes up big for Iowa and with all Bernstein in there to try to take the football off the line of scrimmage and you have to wonder about that call with the penetration I was able to get and that's the last play of the third quarter the Iowa Hawkeyes 28 know when leading after three periods right now just 15 minutes away from earning a share of the Big Ten title second down in ten pressure coming off the edge Tate completes the pass for the first down to Matt Malloy now slicker in to attempt the field goal from 21 yards out straight butter pressuring when eight-man football in high school back in South Dakota second down and ten green away again toss the football and it's picked up by Babineaux Babineaux launched six and Joe Thomas saved a touchdown seven minutes to go on fourth down this one coming from 34 yards out he's two for two already today that's a three for three slicker the kicker tax three more on the board and Kirk parents's team on the verge of improving to nine and two you know it's just a year ago they are known as the doers of zone blocking do a tremendous job in the run
