Q: If Big John Henry Daly was not injured Iowa would not have been able to stop the clock?

Posted on September 27, 2026 at 09:50:28 AM by Cincywolve

Also, when the 91-yard winning drive began, ESPN Analytics gave the Wolverines a 96.3% chance of winning. That number rose to 98.6% with 11 seconds left when Iowa reached the Michigan 45-yard line. The game was effectively over.

- What was his injury? Is he expected back soon?* - By Prominence14 September 27, 2026 at 10:03:15 AM
- Correct, if JHD wasn’t injured the game was over. By rule in CFB you need at least 3 seconds to stop the clock with a spike. Brown attempted to spike. Game would have been over. * - By WestSideBlue September 27, 2026 at 10:01:24 AM
  - Wow, I didn’t know that 3 second rule deal* - By ameriKa September 27, 2026 at 10:38:57 AM
    - Kind of evolved from that time when Jeff Smoker spiked a ball without a second elapsing.* - By hurryup September 27, 2026 at 10:51:28 AM
      - I figured it was a spartan bob rule* - By ameriKa September 27, 2026 at 10:59:12 AM
      - Re: Kind of evolved from that time when Jeff Smoker spiked a ball without a second elapsing. Gives officials time to see what actually happened.* - By hurryup September 27, 2026 at 10:52:13 AM
  - they were going to fake spike it, they knew the rule, the injury gave them a free to, which sucked, but the game wasn't over otherwise* - By Daytripper September 27, 2026 at 10:04:05 AM
    - So certain.* - By Bluebuck September 27, 2026 at 10:12:57 AM
      - it's lost in the malaise but did he not fake spike it? i'm just going off what wsb reported, but lewis now has me thinking yea, they did plan on faking it - By Daytripper September 27, 2026 at 10:16:50 AM
    - They actually did take the snap and spike it. They weren’t going to fake snap. The qb clearly didn’t know the rule. Ferentz said in his press conference that the JHD injury is what allowed them to get a play off. - By WestSideBlue September 27, 2026 at 10:08:37 AM
      - huh, well if he said i stand corrected. makes it even worse imo, beat by a guy that didn't know the rules, great* - By Daytripper September 27, 2026 at 10:10:35 AM
        
        You aren't wrong. He literally fake spiked it after the whistle blew.* - By LewisBullox September 27, 2026 at 10:13:49 AM
        
        Yep, you’re right. I just rewatched and the ball never left his hand. Ferentz did say in his press conference though that it was the injury that let them get the play off - By WestSideBlue September 27, 2026 at 10:23:37 AM
