Iowa leading 13-9, Michigan State on the 2 yard line, about 1:45 left, and the Hawkeyes out of timeouts.
Should they have just let them score on first down, and saved themselves about 80 seconds?
Hindsight says they should have let them score.
I don't think there is a right or wrong answer here. It's just a philosophy in coaching. Just like when a team is down by 3 points, in basketball, do you foul at the end of the game. Each coach is different.
