And they absolutely stepped up in the fourth quarter when it was needed the most. Both of these teams came into the game priding themselves on their lines on both sides of the ball.
While we have seen more balance this season, both teams still rely heavily on the run. In the first half, Kentucky controlled the line of scrimmage. Kentucky marched down the field and scored on three of their first four drives of the game. They also came up with huge stops defensively, preventing Iowa from converting any 3rd downs. The second half was a different story. Iowa made some adjustments and really took it to Kentucky on both sides of the line of scrimmage.
Will Levis had no time to throw and no room to run, and the Wildcats could not stay ahead of the sticks enough to sustain drives. Conversely, Iowa was able to run the ball at will in the second half.
That set them up to stretch the field when needed to get their offense going. But to some degree, Iowa looked like they got stronger throughout the game while Kentucky looked completely gassed. How far does Georgia fall after a loss?
How high does Baylor climb after a conference title? And what about Cincinnati? All that and more in the final Power Rankings before the bowl season.
