Say what you want about Deacon Hill, this reinforces what I've suspected all season:. He is the kind of teammate you want and need.
When Deacon Hill was pulled for Marco Lainez, the two quarterbacks were by each other's sides. I noticed how Hill did not show his frustrations, he supported Lainez from the sidelines for the entire second half. Kirk Ferentz got emotional when I asked him about it.

MY OPINION:. This is a bowl game. Either go for it on 4th & 2 (offense has moved the ball consistently) or let Stevens kick from 58. Just my take.
Iowa takes a delay-of-game penalty on 4th & 2 at the 40-yard line and punts. Would have been a 58-yd kick for Drew Stevens. (Stevens hit from 57 going that direction during pregame warm-ups.).
