Michigan’s loss to Iowa certainly stung. This likely won’t make them feel any better.
Playing what was easily its worst game of the season, Michigan was stunned on a last-second field goal by Iowa in a 14-13 loss at Kinnick Stadium. While the loss didn’t end the Wolverines’ playoff hopes -- if they win out they’re in -- it did put a damper on what had been UM’s rampage through the first nine games on its schedule.
The fact that the loss came to a Hawkeyes team that came into the game at a middling 5-4 made it hurt a wee bit more, losing to an “inferior” opponent. One of those four losses for Iowa came at the hands of North Dakota State in Week 3, and the FCS power was more than eager to take a shot at Michigan over the loss and pour a 55-gallon drum of salt on the still-fresh wound.NDSU and Michigan both occupied this locker room at Kinnick Stadium this fall.

Yeah, that one’s going to leave a mark.
