The Chuck Long Podcast

The Hawkeyes rallied in the fourth quarter from a double digit deficit to pick up their seventh win of the season. This week on the Chuck Long Podcast, we dive into what happened on Saturday in the Hawkeyes 20-17 victory over Michigan State. We talk about how Mark Gronowski and how much he struggled in the first three quarters of the game and how he picked it up and made huge plays in the fourth quarter. 

Long talks about what he would have done with Gronowski when he was struggling. Would he have potentially made a quarterback change? What did he think of the way Gronowski rallied and played in the fourth quarter? What was his analysis of the massive throws to Jacob Gill and Reece Vander Zee?

We also discuss the crazy decision by the Michigan State head coach who said he wanted to challege Iowa return man Kaden Wetjen and how he paid for that decision. We then talk about hte Iowa defense and how they were able to get four straight three and outs in the fourth quarter. 

Finally we look ahead to the Nebraska game and how both teams will be on a short week and how travel on Saturday could impact hte Huskers in this game. What do we think of the new Nebraska quarterback? Finally, we pick some of the top games in the Big Ten during rivalry weekend.
