2008 Iowa at Minnesota

senior night here inside the dome the final senior night for the Venice ohta program in this building the Iowa Hawkeyes they're the skilled position people we talk of John Green and Ebro Dell is a safety valve though field Brandon buyers come on to the second half of the season two tight end along the front line this is a very solid group Bruggeman the center leads the way the senior breathe here seeing what was going on with Ricky stands is just like to have Ruth told us they've been mixing the fronts going to some floor down mixing that bear look with five defensive linemen and it's messy with the protections from Iowa's passing games and Ricky stands is at the waste his time out meanwhile Daniel Murray drills the field goal for the first points of the game seven tend to go in this first quarter the Iowa defense it has been solid all season long ranking third in points third in the Big Ten in yardage Mitch King the star upfront they like the sophomores hands as well Pat Angerer leads the big 10 in interceptions into the secondary again they are very strong in that secondary position Weber pressure Stanzi gets my beta state takes it himself does he have the first down yes he does Iowa struggled this year in third downs 35% conversions ninth in the Big Ten standing under pressure immediately and he gets it away 29 yard field goal attempt for Daniel Marie he's got opponent or the young right stand it's good well 50 left to go the Golden Gopher defense been on the field a long time in this first half but they've only given up two field goals to the Iowa Hawkeyes [Music] man I'll tell you what these receivers that get extended in the air they're getting crushed by the defensive backs in this game the freshmen Katy Sullivan out of st. Paul Minnesota no match for the Iowa ground at defense in the trenches of loss of three across the 25-yard line of Iowa here comes Shawn green says he just reacts that time you have seen ran over the safety 16-yard get into a first down stand to going Pete Townsend take it inside the Minnesota ten yard line Johnson Juliano said quietly put together some nice numbers here comes Shawn green to the game zone touchdown way too easy 3:11 guys not getting 0 to 23 I mean this is way too easy and you try to arm tackle that guy and you're going to end up in his highlight reel they'd run 28 offensive plays prior to this thrive and had just six points on the board they run three plays on this drive is 73 yards to score and the extra point is up and good now the governor's made a bet with a prized hog 19:35 first down and here comes Shawn green he is shredding the Minnesota defense a gain of 12 out to the 21 yard line third down for the hawk guys again third and two Stanzi Myers first down down the sidelines 35 barrel down near the 30 Myers has emerged nicely this season third leading receiver for the Hawkeye is 26 catches coming in stanzin let's it go old tentacle Janos came back for it lost the coverage in he's inside the five well demonic motion from the tight end the fake to green touchdown to Meijer you see man-to-man coverage safety coming over they respect the run so much they allow Meijer to slip out in the flats excellent job by Iowa good play call by Ken O'Keefe 19 nothing Hawkeye's mas Brucker this would be a freshman record [Applause] and up through the uprights it is good first down Golden Gophers under a minute to go in this first half they have three timeouts remaining and an open receiver and he overshot him intercept it down the son lines of Maurice touchdown freshman mas Proctor Oh missed a couple of PA T's last week riddles another one through here let's say that defense I'm certain they're the best defense in the Big Ten Conference but they're the most disruptive it's a no frills defense with norm Parker but they don't give up big place they fly around they do that right there they strike you if you try and go over the middle they just execute at a high level well you know you talk about the great defenses Penn State Michigan State a very good defense I was right there with those defenses just a different style as you pointed out Chris and take a look at 68 points on 25 opponents turnovers when they do a good job - in the red zone they make you settle for field goal and what I like with Norm Parker's defense we get a shot of him right there is they dictate they dictate what you will run and what you won't run teams get so frustrated because they come in trying to run for some reason against Iowa that doesn't work so when you go to the pass game that doesn't work you aren't Parker beautiful mind one of the top defensive coordinators in all of college football Sheryl's back in single safety to receive this punt from Brian Donohue and Kip Cheryl's the fair catch signal and he's hit by his own man and the Hawkeye say they've got it and they do boy this has been a Minnesota blooper reel third down Hawkeye blitz coming they picked it up well ghoulia touchdown djk does a nice job of creating separation at the end of this play you're going to see his arm extended good ball placement by Stanzi look at this throat hitting him in stride now what I was talking about happened before that portion of young play yeah he got separation by pushing off those ybc was always like to do that spoken like a the defensive back that you are must Rucker pokes it through the lead extended that by the Hawkeye's with 921 the left to go in the third it's 34 nothing Iowa [Music] second down and Weber just know floow2 how to take Mitch King out of this one he's right in the middle of it who grew up playing high school football in this state and their whole motivation was to get to the Metrodome Stanzi going deep combing anoles they're not covering him deep he's got another one inside the 15-yard line Cooley honest is just running straight down the field I mean Minnesota they're not getting depth and linebacker position Safety's coming in flat over exposing the cornerback and it's it's not any trickery they're just running down the field stands he's putting the ball out there for his receiver to make a big play and they continue to dial long distance 50-yard pass play and it's first down they mark it at the 15 yard line of Minnesota about all that's left to this game is for Sean Green to become Iowa's all-time single-season rushing leader and he's got it right now spins [Applause] Sean green are you clairvoyant partner it's what if you'd call on that play John Green once again showing you different elements to his run style he has extremely good traits as a runner watch his spin move watch the vision there the toughness the leg drive and of course how he finishes the run and whip that run he has become Iowa's single-season rushing leader passing Tavian banks and that record has stood since 1997 1692 rushing yards now for Shawn green Iowa 41 nothing over the golden gophers of Minnesota historic run by Green for thony yard Eskridge did he make it crawl got to him first Hawkeye say they held they will depend on the spot of the ball yet the low man wins within the trenches and pad level low man always wins they're well coached by Norm Parker discipline not even close for Minnesota they've struggled to move the ball to the ground Green breaking free and still ran into his own man and still gets yardage inside the 30 down to the 25-yard line you have to run through contact and you got to wrap him up now watch this Chris as the running soothe Johnson Cooley ona's trying to make a block the right there and just ever John he will run over anything that moves Stanzi under pressure immediately down the key touchdown well executed by the quarterback and tight end and they got that part of it Barnard outside mas Pat Fitzgerald knows what it takes to will kind of player he can get into north question and what it takes to win them whoever takes out shot close an interception here comes Tyler sash to the 40 to the 50 and down the right sideline to the 35 30 to the 25 and Tanner's sash inside the gopher 30-yard line because I mean obviously no no throwing laid over the middle and then he just floats this ball he's got hands in his face but this is an early December 25th present that he gives a Tyler sash Tyler sash you have the biggest interception of Iowa season the interception against Penn State that set up the hawkeye's winning drive third interception of the season for Tyler sash but he's the kind of guy who can make it a line look good yeah and it's infectious for the linemen they like that touchdown Hampton 18-yard a touchdown run jewel of Hampton vii rushing touchdown this season for the freshman's the bad starting campaign for him the extra point is good double nickel on the board to abdomen for the home forces [Music] Boyd of Rosedale will stay in the company of the hawkeye's at least another years him Brewster Creek Baron shook hands the 50-yard line there is
