That was a once in a lifetime season ended by a once in a lifetime drive. Hats off to MSU. I still wasn't sure of the timeout strategy for Iowa in the final 2 minutes but it probably didn't matter.
The signature play on that drive was Cook's pass on 3rd and long that threaded the needle between the corner and safety. They don't convert that play and they likely punt and Iowa gets a chance to burn all of MSU's timeouts on the next possession.
That was a great drive. In the D-2 state championship game here, the school next door to where we live, had a 23 play 79 yard drive that took over 12:00 minutes, started with like 4 minutes left in the 3rd quarter and the other team got the ball back with a little over 3 minutes to go in the game.
